Erdogan: I Will Call European Countries "Nazis" as long as They Call Me a Dictator
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said he will continue to call European countries "Nazis" as long as they continue to call him a dictator, Hurriyet reports
"You have the freedom to call Erdoğan a dictator but Erdoğan does not have the freedom to call you a fascist or a Nazi. Take no offense, but I will continue to use the same concepts for them as long as they continue to call Erdoğan a dictator," Erdoğan said in a live interview with Doğan TV Ankara.
He clarified his "Nazi" remarks for the Netherlands and Germany, saying that he uttered those words within the context of their definition.
"If I criticize Germany, I say this within its definition. If I say this by using the Nazi comparison, I say within its definition. I also say the same thing for the Netherlands. You will not allow my minister into the [Rotterdam] consulate and you will make your dogs bite my citizens… Where is international law? Then you are disturbed when we say Nazism," he said.
