Turkey not calling German govt Nazi, practices reminiscent of that era: Minister​

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has accused Germany of "fascist actions" reminiscent of the Nazi era.

Ankara: Turkey is not calling the current German government Nazi, but their practices are reminiscent of that era, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was quoted as saying by broadcaster NTV on Thursday.

Already tense relations between the NATO allies deteriorated after the arrest of a German-Turkish journalist in Turkey. Local German authorities have annoyed Ankara by making it difficult for Turkish ministers to hold campaign events in Germany to support President Tayyip Erdogan`s bid for new powers in a referendum next month.
