"I believe our state visit to Germany will strengthen Turkish-German friendship in every aspect", Erdogan said in Twitter.
Aiming to improve political and economic relations with Berlin, Erdogan paid a 3 day state visit to Germany on Sept. 27-29.

"We are leaving painful terms in the recent past with Germany behind," Erdogan said.
Erdogan said Turkey’s new presidential system has paved the way for progress in the country. He said reforms within the scope of the country's EU membership process will continue and Turkey will fulfill the remaining six criteria for visa liberalization in the shortest time.
"In this regard, we care about Germany's support to Turkey", Erdogan said.
Noted that Turkey and Germany enjoy strong economic and trade ties, Erdogan said his country wants to further strengthen economic ties.
"We want our German friends to continue reposing trust in Turkey, Turkish economy and our country's future," Erdogan said.
