Turkey summons German envoy over 'anti-Erdoğan' TV song

ANKARA - Agence France-Presse
Turkey summoned Germany's ambassador Martin Erdmann to protest a two-minute song satirizing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan that was broadcast on German public television, a diplomatic source told AFP on March 29.

"We summoned the ambassador last week to communicate our protest about the broadcast that we condemned," the source told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"We demanded that the broadcast is removed from the air."
 
The song was broadcast on German regional television NDR on March 17.
