Rental agreement for German hall for ex-Turkish energy minister’s speech canceled

A rental agreement for a hall in Germany in which former Energy Minister Taner Yıldız was set to deliver a speech on March 6 has been canceled amid increasing tension between Berlin and Ankara over the cancelation of Turkish ministers’ speeches in the country. 

The rental agreement at the Conference & Event Center belonging to the Kelsterbach town municipality near Frankfurt has been canceled, reports said.

Yıldız was scheduled to deliver a speech in the hall at 7:30 p.m.  

The ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) Overseas Election Coordination Center has reportedly been looking for an alternative hall for Yıldız’s speech.
