German ambassador visits Turkish parliament after bombardment

ANKARA
Germany’s ambassador to Turkey, Martin Erdmann, paid a visit to the Turkish parliament on July 29 to view parts of the building that were bombed on July 15 by pro-coup soldiers during their takeover bid.  

Meeting with ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) Istanbul deputy and Parliamentary Human Rights Commission head Mustafa Yeneroğlu, Erdmann took pictures of the damaged parts of the parliament and shared them on the embassy’s official Twitter account. 

“The fact that this heavy damage was inflicted on a building that is solid like the parliament building by F-16 war planes shows the violence of the coup attempt that concluded with, thank God, a failure,” read a tweet shared by the embassy along with pictures.
