Add to Lightbox DownloadJuly 27, 2017 - Ankara, Turkey - July 27, 2017 - Ankara, Turkey - Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim (C), EU Minister of Turkey Omer Celik (R) and Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci (L) meet with German executives invested in Turkey in wake of German government’s realignment of Turkey-Germany relationship at Cankaya Palace in Ankara, Turkey on July 27, 2017. Speaking at a meeting with the executives at the Çankaya Prime Ministry Office in Ankara, Yıldırım said that Turkey highly values their companies, in response to German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel's statements urging firms to avoid doing business in Turkey. ''For us it is crucial to ensure that you do not sustain any damage or become a part of this tension'' Yıldırım said and added that they see German companies as part of Turkey. The prime minister assured companies that they do not pay the price for the problems between the two countries. Relations between Turkey and Germany, home to three million ethnic Turks, have been badly strained, particularly since the failed coup attempt a year ago against Turkey's democratically elected government by the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ). Turkey accuses Germany of harboring high-ranking FETÖ figures and soldiers linked to the coup attempt, in addition to activities of PKK and DHKP-C terrorist groups in Germany.
