(CNN) The Netherlands this weekend barred Turkey's top diplomat from entering the country to address a political rally. On Saturday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu attempted to enter the Netherlands to address a rally in the port city of Rotterdam. He accused the country of Nazism and likened the Netherlands to a "banana republic." Turkey's "current rhetorical attacks" against the Netherlands led Denmark's Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen to postpone a meeting with his Turkish counterpart. The dispute comes ahead of the Netherlands' general election Wednesday, with immigration from Muslim countries a key issue.
