Netherlands warns travelers to ‘stay alert’ in Turkey as rally row heats up

The Netherlands has issued a travel warning for Turkey amid a growing row between the two countries.
Meanwhile, Ankara has summoned the Dutch envoy, claiming a Turkish minister and hundreds of demonstrators were subject to “bad treatment” by authorities.

The Dutch Foreign Ministry released the updated advisory on Monday, warning citizens to be careful when visiting Turkey.

"Since March 11, 2017 there have been diplomatic tensions between Turkey and The Netherlands. Stay alert across the whole of Turkey and avoid gatherings and crowded places," the ministry said in its warning.

It went on to warn that there is a safety risk when traveling to Turkey, adding that Dutch citizens should register with the ministry ahead of travel.

The Turkish tourism sector is already suffering following last year's attempted military coup and a number of terrorist attacks. Visits from Dutch citizens saw a 30 percent drop last year, the NL Times reported.
