German politicians on Sunday criticised an upcoming pre-election appearance in the country by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the wake of a deadly mine disaster. Amid mounting anger within Turkey over his response to last week's coalmine blast in which 301 died, Erdogan faced condemnation and calls to cancel his visit next Saturday from across the political spectrum in Germany.
Erdogan is due to address supporters in Germany - where three million Turks or people of Turkish origin live - with a visit to the western city of Cologne.
