His part Tayyip Erdogan took Moscow, after the reactions to his re-election in Germany. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova reprimanded both the Turkish-born German agriculture minister and OSCE observers.

“German Agriculture Minister Cem Ezdemir criticized Turkish citizens living in Germany who voted for Erdogan. Ezdemir said the Turkish president’s supporters in Germany will not face the consequences of their choice, but in Turkey itself, “poverty and lack of freedom” is supposed to await citizens. Have you heard of non-interference in the affairs of other states and democracy in Germany? You can imagine if, for example, the Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was he saying this after the German elections?’ asks Zakharova on her Telegram account.

“But cooler than the representative of the German government was the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE. The observers of this organization refused to declare the presidential elections in Turkey fair and free. ”It would be very short-sighted to say whether they were fair or not, whether they were free or not,” said Farah Karimi, head of the delegation from the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. And why, or rather, what were they watching then?’ concludes Zakharova.
