German President's Criticism of Turkey Was Also Aimed at Germans

German President Christian Wulff told the Turkish parliament on Tuesday that Christianity belongs to their country, just as a few weeks ago he insisted that Islam belongs to Germany. The German press is impressed by a president who sticks up for what he thinks is right.

But coming as it did just a few weeks after his remarks on the anniversary of German reunification that "Islam belongs to Germany," it was inevitable that there would be even more than the usual interest in Christian Wulff's speech on Tuesday in Ankara.
