Erdogan's visit aims to reset icy relations

China Daily | Updated: 2018-09-29 07:08

BERLIN - German Chancellor Angela Merkel was scheduled to hosts Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Berlin on Friday to try to repair badly frayed ties.

The pair are meeting a day after Germany beat Turkey to become the Euro 2024 host nation, following a tight race that took on political significance when Erdogan fanned accusations of German discrimination in soccer.

In an editorial in the Frankfurter Allgemeine daily, Erdogan said he wanted to "turn the page" on a long period of tensions, after a failed coup attempt in 2016 caused mutual mistrust and led to conflicts between Turkey and many of its Western allies, including Berlin.
