德国外长加布里尔星期三说，德国和土耳其希望看到两国关系出现改善。
加布里尔是在柏林对记者发表上述讲话的。土耳其和德国的纠纷持续一周后，加布里尔在柏林与土耳其外长恰武什奥卢举行会谈。
加布里尔说：“我们有两国关系良好的记忆，这点十分重要，因为我们现在的关系紧张。这并不正常。”
土耳其内阁部长原计划在德国对埃尔多安总统的支持者讲话，但是德国当局禁止举行这些集会。埃尔多安总统上星期六在伊斯坦布尔的一次集会上发表讲话说，这种做法与当年纳粹德国的行为没有区别。
土耳其上星期逮捕了德国世界报的一名记者。
德国外长加布里尔说，他对土耳其外长恰武什奥卢清楚表明，将德国与当年的纳粹相提并论是绝不可逾越的红线。他表示，星期三与土耳其外长的会谈友好、坦率，但同时也有争议和困难。
German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said Wednesday that his country and Turkey want to see their relations improve.
He spoke to reporters in Berlin where he hosted a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu after a week of disputes.
"The memories we have of our good relations with Turkey are so important right now because our current relations are very tense. This is not normal," Gabriel said.
Turkish officials have been angered by German authorities who banned local rallies where Turkish ministers were due to speak to supporters of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. On Saturday, Erdogan said during a rally in Istanbul that such moves were no different than the practices of Nazi Germany.
And last week, Turkey arrested a reporter for the German newspaper Die Welt.
Gabriel said he made clear to Cavusoglu that making comparisons to Nazi Germany is a line that must not be crossed. He otherwise described Wednesday's meeting as friendly and open, but also controversial and hard.
