Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim meeting with leaders of German businesses. Yildirim held the breakfast meeting in Ankara with the executives, telling them they were valued in Turkey. In the latest episode of the dispute last week, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel warned German firms against investment in Turkey and spoke of an "overhaul" of the entire relationship. Turkey then reportedly listed 700 German firms as having links to companies suspected of terror funding - possibly putting their executives at risk of being caught up in the crackdown. Turkey later said the request was a "communication error" and related to 140 Turkish companies, denying it had ever concerned German firms.
