BERLIN — Turkey’s foreign minister said Saturday that a killing spree of mainly Turkish immigrants in Germany between 2000 and 2007 was “a racist attack that should not go unpunished,” as he visited victims’ families in Berlin.
At a closed-door meeting with families, Ahmet Davutoglu vowed that Turkey would keep a close eye on the high-profile case that has shocked and shamed Germany, according to a foreign ministry official.
On Monday, the hotly anticipated trial opened of 38-year-old Beate Zschaepe, accused of being at the heart of the murderous neo-Nazi cell that called itself the National Socialist Underground (NSU).
Zschaepe denies the charge of complicity in the murders of eight ethnic Turks, a Greek immigrant and a German policewoman.
