Turkey Threatens To Send Europe 15000 Refugees A Month

According to the Turkish official, “they all have the same mindset” and that mindset is propelling Europe towards “wars of religion” in the very near future.

Germany has threatened Turkish politicians with a ban on public appearance.

“When you look at the many parties you see there is no difference between the social democrats and fascist [Geert] Wilders”.

In Wednesday’s elections, Dutch voters returned Rutte’s liberals to power seeing off a challenge from the party of anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders. They all have the same mindset.

Sigmar Gabriel described Erdogan’s comments, including likening Germany’s current leaders to Nazis, as “ludicrous” but said Europe should stop responding in a war of words which only plays into the Turkish leader’s hands.

Cavusoglu also predicted that “religious wars” will start in Europe due to the rise of the far right.

Erdogan and other government figures have called the Dutch ministers “fascists” and “Nazis” in response with European Union leaders retaliating saying the allegations were “detached from reality”.

The April 16 plebiscite is aimed at abolishing the office of the prime minister and giving more executive powers, including issuing decrees, declaring emergency rule, appointing ministers and state officials and dissolving the parliament, to the now largely ceremonial position of the Turkish president. The Party for Freedom (PVV), led by Geert Wilders, came in second with 20 seats.

We lost eight seats, but we’re very happy to be the biggest party again, ‘ Mr Rutte told NPO Radio 1.

Around 2.5 million Turks living in Europe are permitted to vote in elections in their homeland.

“Let us remind you that you can not play games in this region and ignore Turkey”, he said. We need time for everybody to get back into the mood for co-operation, and that doesn’t happen in a few hours’.

Turkey is in a diplomatic dispute with several European countries after a pro-Erdogan rally was banned in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. “This trend is showing that”, said Cavusoglu.

A key pillar of the deal were pledges by Turkey to boost border security and break people-smuggling networks, moves that analysts say slowed the migrant flow to a trickle.

His remarks came hours after Erdogan said the European Union could “forget about” the deal. That may seem “ludicrous” to Europeans but “delights Turkish nationalists”.

Erdogan has accused Germany and the Netherlands of “Nazi” behaviour.
