Talk:Foreign relations of Germany

message: There is a mistake in the list of countries: cyprus is geographically not a part of Europe, but rather Asia. Thus it should be placed in the list of Asia; however, since Cyprus is generally taken to be part of Europe, it is in the list of European countries. My point is: Turkey should be in the list of European countries, not Asian countries. Geographically it could be in both lists (unlike Cyprus) but due to the close connection to Europe and the EU, confirmed by its status as a candidate country, it should be moved to the list of European countries.
can't we write that Germany has excellent relationships with its neighbouring countries or is this too much of an opinion and not factual enough? Andries 14:16, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Centerpieces" 

message: Several issues are missing in the article:
*The Holocaust and attempt of extermination of several nation as central ground and prism throughout which German role in the world is judged in foreign policy.
*The Balkan policy of Germany in 90s. Alledged responsibility towards the situation in Yugoslavia by reckognising Croatia and Slovenia-whetever true or not it is notable enough to be described.
*90s issue of reperations towards slaves from foreign countries used by Germany in its WW2 period
*Criticism of Russian-German relations(Schroeder in Gazprom) is notable
*Collapse and failure of German policy towards Poland and Central Europe during Iraq Crisis.
*The issue of reperation towards victims of German genocide in Africa(Herero)
*The issue of neo-nazi movements influence of foreign perception of  Germany in its neighbours
*Territorial dispute with Poland regarding sea border.
*The issue of respect for national minorites in Germany and relation of that issue towards countries those people come from(mainly child rights which has been noted by EU as a problem).
That's it for now. It would be wise to expand those issues.--Molobo (talk) 17:20, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is currently about the FRG's foreign policy. All of these issues (except perhaps the influence of the Holocaust on Germany's foreign policy, which is already discussed in the article) are minor and this is supposed to be an overview article, not a collection of individual problems. That Poland chose an allicance with the US instead of with France and Germany in the Iraq question is not necessarily a failure of German policy unless you believe Germany should expect Poland to follow all of Germany's wishes. Kusma (talk) 14:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is about foreign relations of Germany, not about "Major aspects of foreign policy". There is nothing that says we shouldn't expand the article. Also I(as a person with diploma in international relations) would disagree with your opinion that this are not major issues. For example having tense relations with your second biggest neighbour and problems regarding treatment of its people is certainly a major issue.--Molobo (talk) 16:10, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The "terriorial dispute with Poland" is not even mentioned in the CIA world factbook, which usually lists all territorial disputes worth mentioning. Kusma (talk) 16:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is mentioned in other sources. CIA worldfactbook doesn't list everything. --Molobo (talk) 16:24, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was unable to find anything about a dispute of the sea borders in a quick Google search; the main recent issue seems to have been Polish fears of German-Russian cooperation (pipeline deals and stuff, see e.g ) and small stuff like Polish police searching German ships in Polish waters. Can you explain in detail what part of the sea borders is disputed and by whom? Kusma (talk) 16:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 
The dispute is related to question of international waters in Świnoujście area. 
"Jednostki wpłynęły na tor podejściowy do świnoujskiego portu, który nie leży na naszych wodach terytorialnych. Leży na wodach, które traktowane są jako terytorialne Niemiec. Spór o nie pomiędzy Polską a Niemcami trwa już od ponad 15 lat. Mimo że tor leży po niemieckiej stronie, obowiązuje na nim prawo swobodnego przepływu jednostek"
The units swimmed into Świnoujście port that lies on our territorial waters. Its on waters considered as German territorial waters. The dispute last since 15 years between Poland and Germany.More detailed information here, I will translate it later. Basically Germany has put its economical zone over Polish territorial waters and is not respecting Polish sovereignty in the area.--Molobo (talk) 17:04, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
