Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel voiced "great concern" about Turkey's cross-border military incursion, called for NATO to discuss the situation and said Berlin would put on ice any weapons deals.
Most painfully for Turkey, he postponed for at least several months a request to upgrade German-made Leopard tanks which Ankara has deployed in its operation against the Syrian-Kurdish militia YPG.
Gabriel said Berlin and Paris were committed "to stopping a further escalation, to allowing humanitarian access and protecting the civilian population. That has top priority".
Then he cannot understand why Germany will not upgrade his tanks after invading Syrian Kurd region?
What does Erdogan the Islamist not get?

Sorry.
Turkey, regrettably, is a NATO member, which means if Germany attacks Turkey, Germany has to come to the defense of Turkey.
Milo Minderbinder would approve.
