Turkey arrests two more German nationals as tensions flare


Two more German citizens are believed to have been arrested in Turkey, the foreign ministry in Berlin said on Monday, adding that a travel warning could follow if the detentions continue. "That means the nightmare of so many German nationals who wanted nothing else than to have a holiday in Turkey continues," he said. Relations further deteriorated after the detention of several German citizens including Deniz Yucel, a correspondent for Die Welt newspaper. Eleven Germans are currently held by Turkey for political reasons, including three who have been detained since the summer of 2016, according to the German foreign ministry. Germany had updated foreign ministry travel advice in July to warn citizens that they could face arrest if they travel to Turkey.
