(AFP) Supporters of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Germany have been trying to intimidate voters ahead of the country’s crunch election, politicians and voters said on Tuesday.
In Berlin’s Neukoelln district, a local chapter of the opposition CHP party has been laying on buses to carry voters across the city to vote in the Turkish consulate.
Ercan Yaprak, co-leader of the local chapter, said he had seen groups of pro-Erdogan demonstrators at the consulate.
“We are being provoked. But we won’t rise to it,” Yaprak told AFP.
“If they are waiting in the consulate for us to say something back, we won’t do that. We don’t want a fight.”
