Немца хлебом не корми, а дай ему ordnung'а

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has praised the Turkish people's response to Friday night's failed coup attempt.

In an interview with "Bild am Sonntag," Steinmeier recognized the courage of thousands of demonstrators who took to the streets early Saturday in protest at the attempted coup.

Steinmeier said the democratic signal was taken up by the spontaneous gatherings of thousands of Turks, "who defied the tanks" and showed their support for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

He called on all sides "to avoid further bloodshed" and to allow democracy and the constitution to take precedence, which, he said, would allow a return to law, order and stability.

"I assume that those responsible for the coup attempt have to face the legal consequences," Steinmeier said, calling on the Turkish government to respect the rule of law. In Turkey there have been calls for the return of the death penalty to deal with the perpetrators of the coup.

Вот сейчас в Турции воцарится закон и порядок, а как же.

Народ требует

Смертная казнь может быть возвращена в Конституцию Турции в связи с попыткой военного переворота в стране, заявил президент страны Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган. Выступая на церемонии похорон жертв путча в Стамбуле, он уточнил, что происходит это по требованию народа.

Таким образом, вопрос о членстве в ЕС будет решен.

At a loss for words

At least three law enforcement officers were killed and three others injured in a shooting Sunday in Baton Rouge, officials said.
