Erdogan's Nazi Claim 'Unacceptable': German Chancellery

Germany's chancellery on Monday hit out against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for likening a German ban on rallies by his ministers to "Nazi practices", calling the comparison "absolutely unacceptable".


"The government will make this very clear" to Turkey, Peter Altmaier, chief of staff at the chancellery, told public broadcaster ARD.

"There is absolutely no reason to allow ourselves to be reproached over this," he added, AFP reported.

Several local authorities in Germany last week banned rallies by Turkish ministers seeking to campaign for support ahead of an April referendum on boosting Erdogan's powers.
