Man raises Turkish flag at Dutch consulate in Istanbul

Hurriyet - An unidentified man has raised a Turkish flag at the Dutch consulate in Istanbul after lowering the Dutch flag amid a row between the two countries that was touched off by the Netherlands’ refusal to allow Family Minister Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya to enter the Turkish consulate in Rotterdam to conduct a campaign speech.

Protests in front of the consulate building have been continuing while police have sealed off the building.
