Supplementary notes

* This statement was phrased by the source as follows: "Het is goed dat Nederland zijn tanden laat zien tegenover Turkije" (English: It is good that the Netherlands has bared its teeth against Turkey).

On Saturday March 11, 2017, the Dutch government prevented Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavusoglu from entering the Netherlands by revoking the landing rights of his plane. The car of Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya, Minister of Family Affairs, was escorted back to the German border, where she entered the Netherlands. These two actions caused a diplomatic incident between the two countries.
