For those late to the news, here's the reason for the row between the two countries....

The Netherlands barred Turkey's foreign minister from landing in Rotterdam on Saturday in a row over Ankara's political campaigning among Turkish emigres...

Turkey has since sent another minister by car from Germany, and she has been stopped from reaching the consulate, too:

Turkish family minister's vehicle was intercepted by Dutch police while entering the country late Saturday, Turkish Consul-General in Rotterdam Sadin Ayyildiz said.

Minister of Family and Social Affairs, Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya has been blocked from entering the Turkish consulate in Rotterdam on Saturday...

Kaya said the Dutch police told her that as a Turkish minister, she was forbidden from entering the consulate building and they were allowed only 30 meters away from the building.

Hundreds of Turks in Rotterdam are now protesting outside the consulate in support of President Erdogan:

All of Europe took in the “snake” . I have zero sympathy. Cut off the head of the snake and throw the body of the rest in the fire. Save yourselves. We are not coming.

Maybe, just maybe, Erdogan has jumped the shark.

Encroaching Islamic influence.

What type of religious leader was she? Was she a female IMAM or something?

Putin killed dozens of Dutch kids and all this guy did was twist himself into a pretzel to kiss Putin’s butt. He’s never going to engage Islamofascists like Erdogan.

Are they both in NATO?

If war breaks out, who’s side are we on?

The inevitable results of letting MILLIONS of muslims into W Europe is a war.

Maybe not today or even in the next few years.

But there will be one.

Erdogan: “What can I do to help this push-over Dutch government look tough so they do well in the election?”

there will be retaliation in the harshest ways ... We will respond in kind to this unacceptable behavior," Yildirim said in a statement.

Yeah, ska-rew the Turkeys.

Very interesting theory you’ve got there! This whole thing could have been planned out in advance, with the Dutch government and Erdogan working together.

P.S. If I ever become President of the United States, I’m appointing you head of the CIA.

Dutch police used dogs and water cannon early on Sunday to disperse hundreds of protesters waving Turkish flags outside the consulate in Rotterdam. Some threw bottles and stones and several demonstrators were beaten by police with batons

Good, I love the sound of moslum filth being beaten with big sticks.

That was my first thought as well. But then I read post #9. I think mrsmith has got it right. This is all kabuki theater meant to make the current Dutch government look tough. Remember, if the current government falls, Geert Wilders just might take power.

The Dutch vote this Wednesday. What a coincidence that this dust-up should occur just now.

Nice try but that sh*t don't fly. It isn't just the Dutch, it's the Germans and others as well. This is just Islamic arrogance overstepping itself. Dog turd Erdogan is electing Geert Wilders, and we should be glad for him doing so.

a row over Ankara's political campaigning among Turkish emigres.

Not sure if I get this or not. Was Turkey trying to influence the votes of Turks living in Holland who would be voting? I have a son-in-law from Turkey (Christian, thank God) and a Dutch brother-in-law. The next family gathering might be a big more interesting.

Yes, Erdogen is just, and evil. He thinks he is the next Caliph.
