Turkey-Netherlands row: Dutch warn citizens after Erdogan threat
13 March 2017 Europe
The Netherlands has warned its citizens over travel to Turkey as a row between the countries shows no sign of abating.
Turkish attempts to hold rallies in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands have been blocked.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed retaliation, saying: "Nazism is still widespread in the West".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel rejected the comments as unacceptable and offered the Netherlands her "full support and solidarity".
On Monday, the Dutch foreign ministry issued a new travel warning, urging its citizens in Turkey to take care and noting the new "diplomatic tensions".
