| Erdogan accuses Netherlands of ‘Nazism and fascism’ after minister expelled | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| The Netherlands will “pay the price” for its “shameless” treatment of Turkey’s minister, President Recep Tayip Erdogan said in a strongly-worded statement. | The Netherlands will “pay the price” for its “shameless” treatment of Turkey’s minister, President Recep Tayip Erdogan said in a strongly-worded statement. |
| “If you are willing to sacrifice Turkish-Dutch relations, you will pay for it,” Erdogan said on Sunday, as cited by Hurriyet. “What’s more, we’re not done yet,” the Turkish leader added. | |
| Over the past few days, the West has revealed its “true face,” Erdogan continued, referring to the recent deportation of Turkish Family Minister Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya, who was escorted out of the Netherlands by police. | |
| Erdogan reteirated his previous statements that the Netherlands' conduct towards the Turkish officials was a sign of "Nazism, fascism," repeating once again:“I said Nazism is dead. I thought Nazism was over, but I was wrong. It turns out that Nazism is reawakening in the West,” the president asserted. | |
| "They will pay the price of treating my citizens, my foreign minister... in an impudent way." | |
| Banning the family minister from entering the Turkish consulate was inconsistent with the freedom of movements, Erdogan said, hinting that he himself may travel to Europe to attend the rallies: "I can go to any country I want if I have a diplomatic passport." | |
| The Dutch “will learn what diplomacy is,” Erdogan said, adding that their actions “cannot remain unanswered,” according to AFP. | |
| “They went as far as to lock the door of the consulate [in Rotterdam],” he stated. |
