The politician accepted Ozil's was "a private decision" which one must respect, but appealed to the footballer as a role model, especially for teenager Turks in Germany."Footballers are symbolic figures in our society, past whom people identify past much more than ministers," supplementary Braun. "And correspondingly the question is raised: How much does someone wearing the German national jersey stand for Germany?"Braun's remarks arrive after German politician Cem Ozdemir, whose parents are Turkish, said on Sunday that he found it "inappropriate" for Ozil to invite the Turkish leader.Ozil - one of the world's most well-liked footballers on social media past 31 million buddies on his approved Facebook account, 19.1 million on his Instagram account and 23.9 million on Twitter - has an obligation as a role model, supplementary Ozdemir.Another lawmaker, Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, was equally unimpressed by his invitation to Mr Erdogan."The wedding is the private concern of Mesut Ozil, but he is a world star, who people look happening to, correspondingly of course it's a pity from a embassy reduction of view," Lambsdorff told newspaper Welt.Ozil has obsolescent Gulse previously 2017 and the couple announced their amalgamation in June 2018.The Arsenal midfielder, a third-generation German, whipped happening a embassy storm past he was pictured next to Mr Erdogan last May.Criticism intensified after the red-faced defending champions crashed out of the first round of the World mug in Russia.In the wake of the World mug fiasco, Ozil announced his handing over from the national squad, saying: "I am German past we win, an immigrant past we lose."
