BERLIN – In a Nov. 14 story about German Green Party politician Cem Ozdemir, The Associated Press incorrectly reported an anecdote that he uses to illustrate a cultural difference between Germans and Turks. In the anecdote, Ozdemir recounts entering a sauna in Turkey to find a group of naked German men. He starts talking to them and loosens his towel in accordance with German custom. When an older German-Turkish man enters wearing a towel, as is Turkish custom, Ozdemir said he put his towel back. After he put his towel back on, the man told Ozdemir that he had been right to follow German custom. The AP story erroneously quoted Ozdemir as having said that the incident involved a naked German woman walking into the sauna.
