A Turkish minister has claimed "holy wars will soon begin" in Europe, in spite of the defeat of far-right leader Geert Wilders in the Netherlands elections.
Mevlut Cavusoglu, Turkeys foreign minister, did not welcome the victory for Prime Minister Mark Ruttes centre-right Peoples Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD).
Now the election is over in the Netherlands...when you look at the many parties you see there is no difference between the social democrats and fascist Wilders, he said according to a translation by Hurriyet.
All have the same mentality. Where will you go? Where are you taking Europe? You have begun to collapse Europe. You are dragging Europe into the abyss. Holy wars will soon begin in Europe.
