Turkiet, Tyskland och EU
For many years now, Germany has been Turkey's most important trading partner and the largest foreign investor. More than three million people with Turkish roots live in Germany.
The EU has now paid Turkey almost €10 billion to care for refugees in Turkey, 3.6 million of whom are Syrian.
Following the Turkish military offensive in northern Syria, German arms exports to Turkey were significantly restricted in 2019. In the meantime, Germany's government has reportedly eased its restrictions.
Der Spiegel reported that German arms deliveries to Turkey worth at least €236 million were approved in September 2024. These also included anti-aircraft missiles and torpedoes.
Political scientist Hürcan Asli Aksoy expects that Germany will now also give the green light for the Eurofighter.
