00:00Hello, my name is Katerina Wilinger, I'm the director of the AD in Turkey.
00:05We have two questions from Turkey.
00:08We have collected two questions among our colleagues.
00:11The first question is for the president.
00:14The German government has been working with Turkey on immigration issues for ten years.
00:22It is said that we want to further develop this cooperation.
00:27It is said that Germany wants support for the return of the Syrian criminals from Turkey.
00:37How can Turkey support the European Union on this issue?
00:44Especially in the current public opinion, although there is pressure in Germany, in the Turkish public opinion.
00:50Germany used to criticize the Turkish government for human rights violations.
00:58For example, by bombing the settlements where the PKKs are located and by taking into account the harm of civilians.
01:08The Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs said that there will be no protection priority for civilian institutions where terrorists are hiding.
01:25Is there a double standard here?
01:29Will Germany take a step back in the future to criticize Turkey?
01:37Or what kind of path will it follow?
01:40It is useful for me to say this clearly and clearly.
01:44It is known that around 4 million refugees came to us from Syria at the first stage.
01:58And now around 3.5 million Syrian refugees are in our country.
02:05We are hosting them in our country right now.
02:10And during this Mr. Merkel period, we worked on this process by meeting them together and providing all kinds of support for them.
02:25And as of now, our door to the refugees coming to our country from Syria has always been open to them.
02:34It is open right now.
02:36Especially in such a war period, if there are those who can come to Turkey from there, there is Lebanon among them.
02:48If there are those who come to our country from Lebanon, we have also kept our door open to them.
02:56Especially right now, there are serious Turkmens in Lebanon.
03:01And we also include these Turkmen relatives.
03:09I told them that we keep our door open to them.
03:15Our door is open to them.
03:45I would like to emphasize this.
03:47And again, I would like to thank you for your cooperation on the issue of migration.
03:54But I would like to say this about the return of prisoners of war.
04:04We carried out a return flight to Afghanistan on this issue.
04:10And we would like to carry it out to Syria as well.
04:13Because prisoners of war should be sent back.
04:16This is necessary for both the German society and other societies.
04:20Prisoners of war should be sent back to a society that wants protection.
04:27This is open.
04:28Of course, these measures are not easy.
04:30For this reason, we have many partners for cooperation.
04:33And for this reason, we are pleased with the cooperation opportunities.
04:38We have cooperation with many countries.
04:41I would like to say this about the second question.
04:46Israel has to comply with international law for its right to defend itself.
04:56Germany's foreign policy has been like this for many years.
05:00We have always made efforts for humanitarian aid to Gaza.
05:07But this was not enough.
05:09Now, we are in a situation where we have to make efforts for a bilateral state solution,
05:16ceasefire and release of prisoners of war.
05:27But Germany does not stand behind the claims that there is genocide.
05:42Of course, there is pain.
05:49When innocent children and innocent civilians die,
05:54we share their pain.
06:02Of course, we are saddened by the victims of war.
06:09But there is a legal attitude here.
06:13And Germany's legal attitude is evident here.
