WorldTurkey is planning more rallies in Germany ahead of a crunch referendum in April, its foreign minister said Thursday, despite an acrimonious row with Berlin after local authorities banned several campaign events. Mevlut Cavusoglu said he had already handed a list of the planned rallies to his German counterpart Sigmar Gabriel. We had informed German authorities of them all,” said the minister in quotes carried by private CNN-Turk television. Turkey and Germany have been at loggerheads this week after local authorities blocked several rallies by Turkish ministers. The spokesman also criticised other European countries like Austria where Chancellor Christian Kern has called for a ban on Turkish politicians from politically campaigning across the EU.
