the actions to ban pre-election appearances of politicians from Turkey in Germany ahead of a referendum next month “do not differ from those of the nazi period”.
The German authorities have removed the permission to conduct two political meetings in German cities in the last week that was planned in the context of the government’s campaign for the prevalence of ‘Yes’ in the referendum.
Yesterday, the Turkish Foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu criticized the ban of the German and the Dutch authorities for the conduct of such concentrations, describing them as anti-democratic, and noted that Turkey will continue to host pre-election events until the referendum of 16 April, which provides for the strengthening of the powers of the president.
“Germany, I don’t have anything to do with democracy and you should know that today, your actions do not differ much from those of the nazi period. When we say this bothered. Why do you bother it?” he said Erdogan at a political rally in Istanbul.
