Özdemir made many comments about the civil war in Syria . She criticizes the bombing carried out by the Syrian and Russian air forces and the escalation by the Turkish army , which has forced thousands of people to flee. She called the twelfth President of Turkey , Recep Tayyip Erdoğan , a dictator.
The State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Hamburg attributed Özdemir to the PKK in 2011 . Özdemir denied this and responded with criticism that the protection of the Constitution would discredit the left.
On February 23, 2020, Özdemir again succeeded in entering the Hamburg parliament .
Solidarity with the PKK
The Hamburg public prosecutor's office investigated Özdemir in 2015 because they published a photo on Facebook of five members of the Bundestag of the Left Party, who posed with a flag of the banned PKK. The investigation was later closed. Özdemir was also investigated in March 2018, this time because she posted a PKK flag on Twitter in November 2017 and demanded that the PKK ban be lifted. In October 2019, she was therefore convicted by the Hamburg-Altona District Court for violating the Association Act and issued a warning with reservation of punishment in the amount of 30 daily rates or 4500 euros.
