President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on April 8 phoned a Turkish citizen residing in Germany who had been ill-treated by police and extended get-well wishes.

The terror group’s sympathizers were holding anti-Turkey and anti-Erdoğan banners and chanting slogans.

The incident was captured on video by another Turkish citizen.
