The charge d’affairs of the embassy was summoned, as the German ambassador to Ankara was absent, and was asked to convey to Berlin Turkey’s demand to have Muslim excluded from the event on May 19 in Ludwigshafen where he will deliver a speech, a Foreign Ministry official has told the Hurriyet Daily News.

The ministry reiterated they wanted German authorities to extradite Muslim.

Muslim was arrested on Feb. 25 in Prague following Turkey’s request to the Czech Republic.

Two days later, he was released by a Czech court on the condition that he would not leave the European Union and appear in future hearings in the extradition case, an event that caused a diplomatic row with Ankara.

On March 3, Turkish authorities said Muslim was spotted in Berlin, where he also participated in a demonstration organized by outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) supporters. Ankara had asked German authorities to extradite him.
