German court sentences neo-Nazi murderer to life in prison

A German court on Wednesday sentenced defendant Beate Zschaepe to life in prison, finding her guilty on 10 counts of murder as part of a neo-Nazi gang and handing her the longest possible sentence.

The court found Zschaepe was part of the National Socialist Underground (NSU), whose members killed eight Turks, a Greek and a German policewoman over seven years from 2000.

German state has decided a 'Yes' result in Turkey suits its interests

It is not hard to find Turkish diplomats who use extremely critical rhetoric for the "German deep state." According to them, this "deep state" does not want Turkey to be a member of the European Union and wants the full assimilation of Turks living in Germany. For those who do not want to assimilate, it uses tactics to discourage them from staying in Germany.
