German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said Wednesday that his country and Turkey want to see their relations improve.

He spoke to reporters in Berlin where he hosted a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu after a week of disputes.

"The memories we have of our good relations with Turkey are so important right now because our current relations are very tense. This is not normal," Gabriel said.

Turkish officials have been angered by German authorities who banned local rallies where Turkish ministers were due to speak to supporters of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. On Saturday, Erdogan said during a rally in Istanbul that such moves were no different than the practices of Nazi Germany.

And last week, Turkey arrested a reporter for the German newspaper Die Welt.

Gabriel said he made clear to Cavusoglu that making comparisons to Nazi Germany is a line that must not be crossed. He otherwise described Wednesday's meeting as friendly and open, but also controversial and hard.

德國外長加布里爾星期三說，德國和土耳其希望看到兩國關(guān)系出現(xiàn)改善。

加布里爾是在柏林對記者發(fā)表上述講話的。土耳其和德國的糾紛持續(xù)一周后，加布里爾在柏林與土耳其外長恰武什奧盧舉行會談。

加布里爾說：“我們有兩國關(guān)系良好的記憶，這點十分重要，因為我們現(xiàn)在的關(guān)系緊張。這并不正常?！?/p>

土耳其內(nèi)閣部長原計劃在德國對埃爾多安總統(tǒng)的支持者講話，但是德國當(dāng)局禁止舉行這些集會。埃爾多安總統(tǒng)上星期六在伊斯坦布爾的一次集會上發(fā)表講話說，這種做法與當(dāng)年納粹德國的行為沒有區(qū)別。

土耳其上星期逮捕了德國世界報的一名記者。

德國外長加布里爾說，他對土耳其外長恰武什奧盧清楚表明，將德國與當(dāng)年的納粹相提并論是絕不可逾越的紅線。他表示，星期三與土耳其外長的會談友好、坦率，但同時也有爭議和困難。
