Turkey accuses Berlin of working against bid to boost Erdogan powers

Ankara: Turkey on Friday accused Germany of working for a "No" vote ahead of an April referendum on whether to boost President Recep Tayyip Erdogan`s powers in an executive presidency.

"They don`t want Turkey to campaign here, they are working for a `No`. They want to get in the way of a strong Turkey," Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters in Ankara after German local authorities blocked rallies where Turkish ministers were due to speak.
