imageISTANBUL: German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday said she had told Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of her "deep concern" over a law lifting the immunity of Turkish lawmakers that critics believe is aimed at evicting pro-Kurdish lawmakers from parliament.

"Of course, the lifting of the immunity of one quarter of the deputies is a source of deep concern. I expressed this to the Turkish president and we discussed these questions very openly," she said.
