Tension Grows Between Turkey and the Netherlands

土耳其與荷蘭之間的緊張關(guān)系升溫

Turkey protested the Netherlands' refusal to allow its officials to enter the country as tensions grew between the two European Union nations.

土耳其抗議荷蘭拒絕該國官員進入荷蘭，這兩個歐盟國家之間的緊張關(guān)系進一步升溫。

On Saturday, the Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte blocked Turkish officials from entering the country. The officials wanted to campaign in the Netherlands for a referendum on April 16. They were hoping to find Turks to vote in the referendum. If passed, the referendum would greatly expand the powers of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

星期六，荷蘭總理馬克·魯特(Mark Rutte)阻止了土耳其官員入境。這些官員想要在荷蘭為4月16日進行的土耳其公投造勢，他們原本希望召集土耳其人參加公投投票。如果公投獲得通過，將會極大地擴大土耳其總統(tǒng)埃爾多安的權(quán)力。

Turkey said the Netherlands police used "disproportionate" force against Turkish protestors. And its president, Erdogan said, "Nazism is alive in the West" and promised to retaliate.

土耳其表示，荷蘭警察對土耳其示威者使用了“不相稱的”武力。土耳其總統(tǒng)則說，“納粹主義仍活在西方國家”，并承諾進行報復(fù)。
