Berlin's Governing Mayor, Michael Müller, has accused Ankara of extending its post-coup crackdown to Germany. The Turkish president has accused a US-based activist of initiating the coup.
Müller, who as governing mayor is premier of the state of Berlin, told the Sunday edition of German newspaper "Bild" that Turkish officials had approached him following the attempted coup last month.
"I was approached and asked by a Turkish government official, whether we would be prepared to critically confront the Gulen movement in Berlin and, if necessary, to support measures against it," Müller told the newspaper.
