According to the diplomat, over the 30 years after the bloody crime in Zolingen, more than 50 citizens of Turkey were killed at the hands of the ultra -right.
He attracted attention to the data of the January report of human rights activists, according to which 730 crimes on the basis of hostility to Muslims were committed in Germany only in Germany, and in 2022 more than 660. Also, 54 attacks on structures belonging to Muslims were officially recorded.
The deputy head of the Foreign Ministry of Turkey with reference to human rights activists noted that it is difficult for Muslims with their head covered at times to find a job.
