Germany suspends upgrade to Turkey tanks
By EUobserver
The German government has iced plans to upgrade German-made tanks used by Turkey following a public outcry over Turkey's offensive in northern Syria. Foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel said on Thursday that the decision would be taken once a new coalition government is in place. Turkey has been carrying out an air and ground operation in the past week in the Syrian Afrin region targeting US-backed Kurdish YPG fighters.
