Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus announced late Monday that Turkey has decided to halt all high-level political discussions with the Netherlands following a diplomatic row over bans on Turkish ministers' rallies in the country, Daily Sabah reported.
Kurtulmuş also said that Turkey will close its air space to Dutch diplomats until Turkey's requests are met.
"We have decided not to allow Turkey-bound Dutch diplomatic flights."
"The Council of Ministers has decided to bar the Dutch ambassador from returning to Turkey," he added.
