Ahmet Davutoglu announced on Thursday he was stepping down as leader of Turkey's ruling AK Party and therefore as prime minister, raising questions about the migrant deal with the EU.
"The chancellor (Angela Merkel) has worked very well with Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu and all Turkish officials, and we expect this good and constructive cooperation to continue with a new Turkish prime minister," deputy German government spokesman Georg Streiter said.
"We will fulfill our commitments and expect that Turkey will also fulfill its commitments. It is not an agreement between the EU and Mr Davutoglu, but rather an agreement between the EU and Turkey," Streiter told a regular government news conference.
