Blast of cold air from Merkel

German Chancellor Merkel conveyed warnings about both freedom of press and information and freedom of expression at the meeting she held with Erdoğan at the palace. At the press conference, on the other hand, was dominated by ‘Islamic terrorism’ polemics.
Merkel, placing stress on the separation of powers, said, hinting at the presidential system, ‘Being president calls for humility and being modest. I am jealous of my French and US colleagues in this regard.’ Merkel recommended a return to the solution process.
