TFootballer Mesut Özil is involved in a new political conflict in Germany after asking Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Turkey, to be the guest of honor at his wedding.

The Arsenal star resigned from the German national team last year, claiming he was a victim of racism after being criticized for his public support for Mr Erdoğan.

German politicians spoke after the photo of her fiancée, Amine Gulse, during her meeting with Mr Erdoğan at the airport in Istanbul last week.

"The fact that this is still going on will disappoint a lot of football fans, including myself," Helge Braun, Angela Merkel's chief of staff, told reporters. BildThe best-selling German newspaper was on the front page of the wedding invitation.

The extraordinary political dispute of last year, which resulted in the departure of one of the biggest German stars of German football, began when Özil and Ilkay Gündoğan, another player of Turkish origin, posed for photographs with Mr. Erdoğan in London.
