Turkish President calls Dutch government fascists

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the Dutch government fascists after Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu's plane was denied landing in the country, Anadolu news agency reported.

Turkish President calls Dutch government fascists.

"They don't know anything about politics, or about diplomacy. It's a remnant of fascism, and they are fascists," the president declared in a speech in Istanbul on March 11.

"How will your plane (carrying diplomats) land here now after you did not allow our foreign minister to land?", Mr. Erdogan questioned the Dutch government.

The Dutch government has withdrawn the landing permit of Prime Minister Cavusoglu's plane for "public security" reasons.

Previously, Mr. Erdogan compared the German government's policy to fascism, when they banned the head of the Turkish Justice Ministry, Bekir Bozdag, from speaking to the Turkish community living abroad.
