BERLIN
The rest of the iceberg must be revealed. We will follow it," said Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu regarding the murder of ten people -- eight of them Turks -- in Germany between 2000 and 2007 which has been blamed on a neo-Nazi terror cell.
Speaking at the meeting with Turkish consuls general serving in European countries at Turkish Embassy building in Berlin, Davutoglu mentioned that they would keep a close eye on those who killed 8 Turks, as well as those who incited the murderers.
Turks as "assets" for Europe
"Whole Europe must accept Turks as real and indispensable assets of the continent" said Davutoglu stating that it was impossible neither to exile nor to intimidate Turks, while it was possible to benefit from them.
Davutoglu also called on the Europeans to make self-criticism on xenophobia. Even the "Remorseless and immoral" behavior of Beate Zscheape, the indictee of neo-Nazi crimes during her hearing reflected a particular mindset, said Davutoglu.
"Europe would face a very big disaster if the Germans prefer to roof the crimes and hide their xenophobia as the rest of the iceberg", he added.
Davutoglu underlined that they would not accept the issue to be downgraded to one of "murder by a deceived girl with 3-4 others".
Stating that neo-Nazi issue also was very critical for Germany, as well as whole Europe, Davutoglu said "If they (Europeans) say, other nations might have terrorists but ours do not, those terrorists would be pain for the entire continent."
In the meeting, Davutoglu touched upon the issue of Turkish children adopted by Germans forcefully, and said that Turkey would take all the necessary measures for their return to the families.
Davutoglu also met neo-Nazi victims' families in the embassy and conveyed the support of Turkish government.
