THE HAGUE, March 13 (Xinhua) -- The Dutch Foreign Ministry on Monday urged nationals travelling to Turkey to be alert and avoid gatherings and crowded places following an escalation of diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
"Since March 11, 2017 there are diplomatic tensions between Turkey and the Netherlands. Especially on social media are highly critical statements made about the Netherlands and its inhabitants," said the travel advice posted on the ministry's website on Monday morning.
