Erdogan warns Germany that the Israeli-Iranian war could trigger migration to Europe

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has cautioned that escalating conflict between Israel and Iran may lead to a spike in migration affecting both Europe and the wider region.

“The spiral of violence triggered by Israel’s attacks could harm the region and Europe in terms of migration and the possibility of nuclear leakage,” Erdogan said, according to a statement from his office.

The remarks came during a phone call with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, where Erdogan expressed concern over the broader fallout of the conflict.
