BREUER: "TANKS SHOULD BE SOLD TO TURKEY"
Defence Spokesman for the German Christian Democrat Union and Christian Social Union Paul Breuer said that Germany should treat Ankara and Athens equally in terms of the tank sales. Breuer said: "The reason of not selling the Leopard II A5 tanks to Turkey is the violation of human rights. By treating the two NATO countries differently, Germany is losing its international credibility. Some ideologists try to exclude Turkey from NATO. If Turkey demands, then the tanks should be sold to Turkey."
