Erdogan Says to Continue Making 'Nazi Remnants, Fascists' Remarks to EU

by Reuters

   Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan vowed on Tuesday to continue calling
   European countries "Nazi remnants and fascists" if they maintain their
   "current attitude against Turkey", despite repeated condemnation from
   European capitals.

   "They don't let my ministers make speeches in Europe (...) Once the
   referendum on April 16 is over, we will consider, everything has a
   price," Erdogan told a referendum rally in the western city of
   Zonguldak.

   Erdogan has repeatedly lashed out at European countries including
   Germany in campaigning for the referendum, accusing them of "Nazi-like"
   tactics for banning his ministers from speaking to rallies of Turkish
   voters abroad.
