Germany Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle and his Turkish counterpart Ahmed Davutoglu on Saturday called for action against the far right after a series of racist murders in Germany, AFP reports.<\/p>\n<p>Turks are the largest ethnic group of non-German origin in the country and all the victims were of Turkish origin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Right-wing extremism and racism have no place in Germany,&#8221; Westerwelle told reporters in Bonn with Davutoglu who has been visiting Germany since Thursday and has met the families of some victims.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Relations between Turkey and Germany are good. I hope that these horrible murders are not going to divide Turkey and Germany. It&#8217;s for this reason that it is of the greatest importance that this series of murders are cleared up,&#8221; said Westerwelle.<\/p>\n<p>Davutoglu said the two countries shared a commitment to bringing the perpetrators to justice and stamping out racism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is important that we fight the far right together, that we make a common front against the violence&#8230;. We must drain the swamp&#8230; these attacks are not going to damage the Germany-Turkey friendship,&#8221; added Davutoglu.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, German authorities called for help from the public as they investigated a neo-Nazi cell believed to have murdered 10 people, mainly foreign shopkeepers, in a case that has shocked the country.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities arrested a man on November 24 who stands accused of making a chilling video in 2007 &#8212; discovered only last month &#8212; in which the militants claimed responsibility for the murders.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2011 All rights reserved.
