Photo: DPAGerman relations with Turkey have barely been out of the headlines over the last twelve months after a series of bitter fights. Turkey's bitter response - accusing Germany of acting like the Nazis - has been the international relations equivalent of telling your soon-to-be ex-spouse "you're just like you're f'ing father". The comedian in question, Jan Böhmermann, was suddenly facing up to a five-year jail sentence.

One thing is for sure: if things are to get better, the counselling session are going to be pretty expensive.
