Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday threatened to retaliate after the Netherlands banned a government minister from flying in for a campaign rally, as he said The Hague's behaviour was reminiscent of Nazism.

"They are the vestiges of the Nazis, they are fascists," Erdogan told an Istanbul rally. "Ban our foreign minister from flying however much you like, but from now on let's see how your flights will land in Turkey."
