Muhammed survived the attack in Hanau: “He shot me in the shoulder.”

Daily Sabah spoke to eyewitness Kadir Köse who initially did not realize that it was a terrorist attack. “But when I heard the second shot I knew for sure.” Köse is shocked by the scale and violence. “This type of violence occurs in America, not here.”

One of the victims is Gökhan Gültekin, says Ambassador Aydin. He spoke to the man’s father. He says that his son was 37 years old, that the family is from Eastern Turkey and that he would soon be engaged.

President Erdogan keeps a close eye on developments in Germany. “We follow it closely,” he says Hurriyet Daily News. Erdogan also expressed its condolences to the families of the victims.

“These are the IS people of Europe”

Racism and fascism are becoming more and more visible in Europe, says Omer Celik, a spokesperson for the ruling AK party. He tells the Turkish state news agency Anadolu that the political values ​​of Europe are being attacked. According to him, this is done by fascists who are hostile towards Muslims, Turks and migrants. He describes the people who do that as the “IS’ers of Europe”.

The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs also emphasizes in a written statement that racism is increasing, just like the hostility towards Islam. The ministry believes that Europe is indifferent to xenophobia and that this is leading to new attacks on migrants. According to the Turkish ministry, all European countries must act together against racism and xenophobia.

These concerns are endorsed by Ertan Toprak, president of the Kurdish community in Germany. He sees an increasing sense of insecurity among migrants after the massacre. He told the German TV channel ZDF that people no longer feel safe. “This could have affected every migrant.”
