German state TV reporter denied entry to Turkey, deported A German reporter was deported from Turkey on April 19, on the grounds that he was previously banned from entering the country. 

Police detained Volker Schwenck, a reporter for the German State Television (ARD), following his arrival from Cairo to Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport for a report on Syrian migrants. 

He was deported to Germany after necessary police processes at the airport.

“Last destination Istanbul. My entry to Turkey has been refused. I’m told there was a record regarding my name. I’m a journalist. Is that a problem?” Schwenck said in a tweet after being deported.
