German police briefly detained two journalists from a pro-government Turkish newspaper and searched their homes on suspicion of posing a risk to data privacy. The action prompted a sharp response from Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which summoned the German ambassador the following day. Germany has the world's largest Turkish community and recent relations between the countries have suffered over Germany's rejection of Turkey's extradition requests for military officers allegedly involved in the country's 2016 coup attempt.
