Oh I'm sure the Fuehrer and Erdogan aren't that friendly in fact I'd say she is too timid to be an equal as it appears Erdogan is running the show. His recent threats of war were just sabre rattling to get what he wanted at negotiations and primarily to make himself look good to the Islamic world. From what I understand he is stopping the flow of refugees on his side of the border but it seems he managed to strong arm Germany into paying for it.
