Germany warns Turkey over 'Nazi' remarks
Angela Merkel expressed that the comparisons with the Nazis must stop
WEB DESK (Dunya News) – The diplomatic relations between Germany and Turkey hit a new low as leaders of both the countries exchange harsh statements immediately after German authorities cancelled several political rallies involving Turkish ministers.
The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave German authorities a piece of his mind over the matter while likening its stance to Nazi practices.
"Your practices are not different from the Nazi practices of the past,” Turkish President addressed at women’s rally in Istanbul before the referendum.
"I thought it’s been a long time since Germany left Nazi practices. We are mistaken," he added.
In a strong reply, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the Nazi comparisons were sad so incredibly misplaced that one really can t comment, but they cannot be justified.
"We will not allow the victims of the Nazis to be trivialized," she said.
Angela went on to say that the comparisons with the Nazis must stop.
