A lawsuit was filed against the former Parliament Member of Germany from the Greens, Memet Kılıç. Kılıç is charged with “insulting Erdoğan” due to criticising the internal and external politics of the Turkish government in an interview he gave. The first hearing of the lawsuit will be held in December in Ankara. “I’ve never heard about a lawsuit filed against a German politician in Turkey before,” Kılıç said. In the interview in question of the charges against him, Kılıç had stated, “As a Turkish-German politician, I am deeply saddened by the situation my homeland has been turned into. I see those bringing it in this state as traitors.”
