   Don’t know much about him outside this article but something tells me we’d get along :)

   “At a time when most representatives of the German government still maintained good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Özdemir was a vehement critic of the Kremlin leader.
   …
   Time and again, Özdemir spoke out publicly against Turkey's leader President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the ruler of the country from which his parents came.“

     @aral Don't bother yourself. He might sometimes have a good moment, but usually he is an a***hole. Once he has a position, he will not do what he should be doing (I remember him as minister for agriculture - so many things he could have done, for the environment, for ex., but that might have made him unpopular with certain ppl). And much more.
