Germany sells arms to Turkey despite Afrin offensive: Last week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the Turkish offensive in the Syrian enclave "unacceptable." But that has not stopped her government from selling arms to Turkey

"Germany continues to authorize the export of weapons to Turkey despite criticizing the country's offensive in the Syrian enclave of Afrin, German public broadcaster ARD reported Thursday. The German government has approved the export of military equipment worth €4.4 million ($5.4 million) since January 20, when Turkey launched its offensive against Kurdish militia in Afrin, ARD said, citing a response from the Foreign Ministry to a question by the Left party. The value of the approvals in the month preceding the offensive was almost €10 million."

Thats it ? these numbers are incredible low- in essence !irrelevant! lol. German weapon systems in the TSK inventory are replaced by turkish weapon systems. Ur embargoes wont effect anything and will hopefully speed up turkeys NATO exit.
