Riot Gear: Address Crowds and Rotterdam Rally

riot gear: He said Ankara would retaliate for the treatment of the Turkish family affairs minister, who on Saturday was blocked by police in riot gear from entering her country's consulate in Rotterdam, according to Hamilton Spectator. That came hours after Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was denied airport landing rights to address crowds at a Rotterdam rally. While Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte worked to contain the diplomatic damage, Erdogan made it clear that Turkey would not be easily appeased. Saying that he was wrong to think Nazism was over, Erdogan made the comment to an audience in Istanbul. The Dutch prime minster said it was important for his government not to bow to pressure from Turkey, especially after Ankara threatened sanctions if the Dutch kept Turkish ministers out. The remarks were similar to ones he made about Germany earlier this month. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
