It goes to a country like Germany, where there are frictions with the Berlin government over a range of issues in recent years. In this atmosphere, where a part of politics, opinion, and media tend to view this visit with critical attention, it has been detected and a detail that has been later taken as provocation.
On a 500m street in front of the Brandenburg Gate, Erdogan opened the Mercedes Maybach mosque, where he and his wife, Emine, were together, and greeted in a way that Bild has translated as a symbol of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt during the protests in Rabina Square, while opposed by the coup of President-elect Mohammed Morsi. Judged by the circumstances, Erdogan has had no reason to do so, but indeed his hand was in the form of that symbol.
Erdogan's visit has armoured nearly all of Berlin. German police have been fully committed to the security of the Turkish presidential couple, accommodated at Hotel Adlon, near the Brandenburg Gate.
