Dutch–Turkish diplomatic incident

Citizens of Turkey and Azerbaijan will soon be able to travel to each other's country with only their state identity cards, the Turkish foreign minister announced on Dec. 10. 

Turkey and Germany have been engaged in talks for cooperation in the field of tourism for the coming season as the former says Turkish resorts are the safest destinations for European tourists as the country has taken the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic under control.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a phone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Turkish authorities said on May 11.

Turkish Airlines has scheduled special flights to New York, Chicago, Houston and Miami for Turkish citizens stranded in the U.S. because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The country's flag carrier will evacuate citizens back home from New York and Chicago on May 15, Houston on May 16 and Miami on May 17, according to a statement by the Turkish Embassy in Washington.

Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said on April 13 that he will not leave office after his resignation decision was rejected by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on late April 12.

Some 124 Turkish citizens living abroad have died due to COVID-19, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has said.

Çavuşoğlu's remarks came after attending a NATO foreign ministers' meeting.

He said more than 20,000 citizens in total have been brought back to Turkey from 50 countries.

As far as Recep Tayyip Erdogan is concerned, it's not just German Chancellor Angela Merkel who's a Nazi; so is Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. And while French President Emmanuel Macron is "brain dead" and all Europeans are "fascists," Greeks are "barbarians." Once more, the Turkish president has gone too far, making vulgar accusations and comparisons to Nazi atrocities.

Turkish migrants increasingly face discriminatory policies and systematic racism in Western Europe, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on Oct. 2. 

Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu on July 18 had a phone call with his German counterpart, according to the former's diplomatic source.         

European Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos will be traveling to Turkey on Monday to meet with high-ranking officials.
