German Chancellor Angela Merkel will visit Turkey on Sunday for talks on the fight against terrorism, the civil war in Syria and the refugee crisis, her spokesman announced on Monday.
Merkel’s visit comes after the attacks outside Ankara’s main train station on Saturday that killed 97 people, which raised concerns in Western capitals over the stability of a key NATO ally neighboring Syria.
"As Chancellor has expressed in her condolence message to Prime Minister Davutoglu, this attack is a cowardly act directed against civil rights, democracy and peace," Steffen Seibert said at a press conference in Berlin.
The attack targeted left-wing and pro-Kurdish protestors who had gathered for a peace rally, and the investigation was focused on the terrorist organization Daesh as the primary suspect.
