Germany will deny permission for Turkish President Erdogan to address Turks at a rally when he visits for the upcoming G20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany's foreign minister said Thursday. Turkey officially requested permission Wednesday for Erdogan to make the appearance while in Germany for the July 7-8 summit, Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said. Gabriel said he had told his Turkish counterpart weeks ago that "we don't think this is a good idea." "We are telling Turkey that we are convinced such an appearance in Germany is not possible," Gabriel said, according to news agency dpa.
