The diplomatic dispute was sparked over plans by Turkish government officials to campaign in the Netherlands for a referendum back home. Turkish officials have been campaigning in various European cities with Turkish populations before the April 16 vote. The protests led to a scuffle with police as Dutch officials used a water cannon to disperse the group, Reuters reported. In a written statement early Sunday, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said his country will strongly respond to the Dutch actions. The dispute also comes just days before the Netherlands goes to the polls next Wednesday for the lower house of Parliament.
