The German government advised its citizens to be cautious when travelling to Turkey after Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu (photo above) had threatened to arrest German “terrorists” and “traitors” at airports.

The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the statement from Interior Minister Soylu as “not helpful in the current situation.

According to Turkish media, Soylu told an election campaign rally on Sunday that people in Europe and Germany who attend “terrorist organization” rallies would be arrested in Turkey.

Soylu’s comments were aimed at supporters of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which Turkey, the EU and United States lists as a terrorist organization.

Germany has one of the largest Kurdish diasporas in the world and supporters of the PKK regularly hold rallies in support of Kurdish causes.
