A German official on Tuesday accused Turkey of carrying out "unacceptable" spying on alleged sympathizers of the movement led by exiled preacher Fethullah Gulen, blamed for a failed coup last year.
"It is notable with what intensity and ruthlessness the people living abroad are being investigated," said Boris Pistorius, interior minister for Germany's biggest state, North Rhine-Westphalia, saying that Ankara had asked Berlin to help spy on 300 alleged Gulen supporters.
"It's intolerable and unacceptable," he told a press conference.
