“Such a response from the Turkish side was expected,” the minister said, refusing to give further comments, stating that answering to responds isn’t a good idea.

After the Dutch House of Representatives passed the resolutions, Turkey was quick to critisize the move, and summoned the Netherlands envoy in Ankara to condemn the adoption.
