It is not just an issue of compensation.” Davutoglu said the failure in the interpretation of these murders in a socially and politically disciplined country like Germany for ten years was “grave.” He also said the murders had caused uneasiness among Turkish people. He said the case should not only be considered as a judicial case, but where there was a serial murder it should be analyzed whether there was a racist terrorist organization involved. “The murders made Turks living in Germany uneasy,” Davutoglu told a joint press conference with his German counterpart Guido Westerwelle in Bonn. “We should prepare an action plan against xenophobia,” he said. Davutoglu said. Germany should launch a campaign against prejudice as it had done for integration.
