Since the failed putsch attempt in Turkey in July, Germany has received 35 asylum applications from people with Turkish diplomatic passports, the Interior Ministry confirmed on Wednesday.
Among the 35 people with diplomatic passports who applied for asylum with the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), there were also spouses and children, the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) reports.
The Interior Ministry also noted that there are no definitive statistics on the number of asylum applications by Turkish diplomats, stating that the figure of 35 is not a “complete and closed figure”.

Since then, tens of thousands of people have been fired from their jobs and detained, including people in the judiciary, education and the media, as the government has gone after those it claims are sympathizers with the putschists. Full story...
