YEREVAN, MARCH 13, ARMENPRESS. In a speech in France, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu described the Netherlands as the "capital of fascism" after it joined other European countries in stopping Turkish politicians holding rallies, due to fears that tensions in Turkey might spill over into their expatriate communities, ABC reports.
The Dutch Government barred Mr Cavusoglu from flying to Rotterdam on Saturday (local time) and later stopped Family Minister Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya from entering the Turkish consulate there, before escorting her out of the country to Germany.
