THE HAGUE, March 13 (Xinhua) -- The Dutch Foreign Ministry on Monday urged nationals travelling to Turkey to be alert and avoid gatherings and crowded
places following an escalation of diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
"Since March 11, 2017 there are diplomatic tensions between Turkey and the Netherlands. Especially on social media are highly critical statements made
about the Netherlands and its inhabitants," said the travel advice posted on the
ministry's website on Monday morning.
"The Turkish prime minister declares that it has no influence on Dutch visitors. Be alert across Turkey, avoiding gatherings and crowded places,"
warned the ministry.
The ministry also told Dutch nationals to stay alert to increased risk of terrorist attacks in the whole country of Turkey.
The tensions between the Netherlands and Turkey rose on Saturday night after a convoy of Turkish Family Minister Fatma Betul Kaya Sayan was halted for hours
close to the Turkish General Consulate in Rotterdam. On Sunday morning she was
moved back to Germany under Dutch police escort.
Kaya wanted to visit the Turkish consulate to speak at a rally for a "yes" vote in the forthcoming constitutional referendum in Turkey.
Earlier on Saturday the diplomatic row came to a high when the Dutch government withdrew the landing rights for the plane of Turkish Foreign Minister
Mevlut Cavusoglu, who had the same plan.
The Turkish government planned to campaign in the Netherlands, as in other European countries, to urge Dutch citizens with the Turkish nationality to vote
for a stronger position for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Dutch government objected the campaign by Turkish officials, citing security and public order reasons.
The Turkish diplomatic service reacted on Twitter that "racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic attacks in the Netherlands jeopardize the European democracy,"
while Erdogan compared the Dutch with "fascists and Nazis".
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the remarks by Erdogan were "unacceptable" and what the Turkish family minister has done was
"irresponsible."
BRUSSELS womens nike shox nz wholesale , Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- The European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said here on Tuesday recent steps taken by Palestinians
and Israelis could aggravate the already tense situation on the ground and bring
them further away from a negotiated solution.
The decision of the Israeli government to halt the transfer of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority "runs counter to Israel's obligations under the
Paris Protocol," Mogherini said in a statement.
An effective Palestinian Authority mens nike shox nz wholesale , committed to non-violence and a peaceful resolution of the conflict, is a key element for a two-state solution wholesale nike shox nz china , she said, urging Israel and Palestine to refrain from taking actions that could raise obstacles to the rapid return to the
negotiations.
She said the EU was providing considerable support wholesale nike shox nz free shipping , including financial assistance, to ensure the building of the institutions and infrastructure of a future Palestinian State. And these
achievements should not be put at risk by not meeting obligations regarding the
timely and transparent transfer of tax and custom revenues.
"The European Union will promote and support now more than ever efforts to achieve a lasting peace based on a two-state solution cheap wholesale nike shox nz , including through the Middle East Quartet," she said.
Half a billion shekels wholesale nike shox nz shoes , or about 128 million U.S. dollars, in tax revenue that Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority for the month of December
were being frozen. Israel made the decision last week to punish the
Palestinians' bid to join the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Israel's collection of tax money for the Palestinian Authority was established under the 1993 Oslo Accords. The last time Israel froze the money's
transfer was in April last year wholesale nike shox nz , following the Authority's reconciliation with Hamas and the establishment of a Palestinian unity government.
Palestinians sought to join the ICC after the UN Security Council rejected a resolution on Israel's withdrawal from the West Bank and East Jerusalem by 2017,
in order for a Palestinian state to be established unilaterally.
BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua) -- The United States should reflect upon its wrongdoings as a meddler in the Middle East by way of military intervention, as
it has not only destabilized the region, but also inflicted enormous pain and
imposed a tremendous burden on European countries.
Five years have passed since the eruption of the Syrian crisis. Peace and security are still not in sight, and worse yet, tensions between Western
countries led by the United States and Russia have escalated over the issue.
It is evident that the United States has knocked over a "domino" in the domestic conflict in other countries without preventing the follow-up clashes
and crises, leading to the current chaotic situation that is hard to deal with
for European countries.
Worse still, the troubled situation in the Middle East has given rise to the unceasing expansion of extremist forces such as the Islamic State (IS), a bane
threatening not only the conflict-torn regions, but also regions far from the
flames of war.
From Afghanistan to Libya, and from Syria to Gaza, the horrors brought about by the U.S. interference in the region, which was depicted in literature as a
promised land flowing with milk and honey, are countless.
As extremist forces are taking root in Libya, a country that neighbors the European continent, the security situation in Europe is fraught with serious
threats.
However, the United States, which has created this mess, has not come up with a solution to stabilize the region and put an end to the crisis. Instead, it
remains relatively safe from either the terrorist activities or the refugee
