"Those Who Have Prejudices Should Visit Turkey First
by Helmut Lutz
German Sculpture
Support for Turkey's European Union (EU) membership came from a German artist, who has been fighting for intercultural dialogue. Helmut Lutz, who brought 'Star Ways,' an exhibition that has traveled across the world, to Istanbul on October 29, considers himself a cultural envoy.
Lutz believes that Turkey will bring a new spirit to the European Union and will become a bridge between East and West.
Lutz has been fighting for intercultural dialogue for 30 years. Besides being an artist and a painter, he also writes musical dramas. The German artist believes that Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Angela Merkel is afraid because East Germany, where she lived for many years is still psychologically isolated, and suggests that Merkel visited Turkey in order to overcome her prejudices.
