BERLIN (AP) – Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is suing a senior German lawmaker who called him a “sewer rat,” his lawyer said Friday.<\/p>\n

Mustafa Kaplan confirmed a report by German weekly Der Spiegel that he had filed a criminal complaint for Lawyer Turkey<\/a> slander and libel against lawmaker Wolfgang Kubicki on behalf of his client.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kubicki, a member of the governing Free Democratic Party, Lawyer Turkey<\/a> told German news agency dpa that he was unconcerned about the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

The Turkish government this week sharply criticized Kubicki’s comments, Lawyer Turkey<\/a> made at a recent election campaign event.<\/p>\n

Kubicki used the term “sewer rat” in reference to Erdogan while talking about a migration deal between Turkey and the European Union.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker later said he considered sewer rats to be “small, cute, but also clever and devious creatures” that sometimes appear as protagonists in children’s stories.<\/p>\n

Erdogan previously won a case in Germany forbidding a comedian from repeating parts of a crude poem he wrote about the Turkish president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
