Turkey vs. Holland Grudge Match

[airboy]

Turkey and Holland are having a diplomatic war.  Really.

Turkey is having an referendum on giving their current leader even more power.  The vote is supposed to be close, so the Turkish President is having his political operatives fly to cities in other European countries to urge expatriate Turks to vote absentee.  This is similar to having a US President go to Rio de Genaro and troll for votes.

The Dutch banned the Turk political operatives from having a vote rally.  The Turks decided to send someone anyway.  The Turk was expelled from Holland.  The Turks are calling the Dutch fascist and have expelled the Dutch Ambassador.  The Dutch are telling the Turks "go away, we don't care."  A Turk removed the Dutch flag from the Istanbul Embassy and replaced it with a Turkish flag.

There are also upcoming elections in Holland.

Mister Erdogan went a step further and explained that the Netherlands only have 48000 active troops while there are 400000 turks living there.

If I was prime minister I would have told mister sh..h..d that, first we got tanks and stuff, and secondly since you so politely mention the danger of having so many turks living here we probably should start deporting them.
