Turkish Prime Minster Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in Berlin today for talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Before coming to the capital, Erogan first visited the scene of a fire that killed 9 people of Turkish origin earlier this week in the western German city of Ludwigshafen. As investigations into the cause of the fire continue, Erdogan appealed for calm among Germany's large Turkish minority. Some members of that community have suggested the fire was an act of arson motivated by anti-foreigner sentiment
