- Complete stop of all arms exports to Turkey.

- End of the agreement between the European Union and Turkey to supply millions of Syrian refugees in Turkey.

- End of the use of 'Tornado' reconnaissance planes of the German army (Bundeswehr) over Syria and Iraq in the fight against the terrorist organization Islamic State.
