The German Government of Allf Salts prevents the sale of fighter aircraft Eurofighter Typhoon to Turkeyaccording to German media Handelsblatt.
The main reason ‘freezing’ the sale of Eurofighter to Turkeyaccording to sources cited by Handelsblatt, is the arrest and imprisonment of the Mayor of Constantinople and the main opponent of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ekrem Imoglou.
After arrest Imoglou, Berlin accuses Erdogan of “attacking democracy” And so he cannot continue the sale of weapons.
Indeed, the German report argues that developments in Turkey and Imoglou’s prosecution “overturned the efforts by Chancellor Saltz to restore relationships with Ankaraยป.
“In the confidential conversations with Erdogan, significant progress had been made and the approval process was on the right track. But then, the Turkish president overthrew these efforts with his actions against Imoglou, “Handelsblatt writes.
Of course, the Solds government will soon be replaced by the Christian Union (CDU / CSU) that won the February elections in Germany, under Friedrich Mertz, who is expected to become the new Chancellor, so the “block” is temporary and we will be temporary.
Ankara is in advanced negotiations with Britain and Spain to buy 40 Eurofighter and Germany seemed close to approved the deal after initially opposing it.
