The Dutch government is concerned about the "long arm" of the Turkish state

The Netherlands apologies today that would not allow him to act the "long arm" of Ankara in its territory, after a report in which the Turkish Embassy sent the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a Turkish origin list Dutchmen who consider themselves favored the failed coup of July.

Dutch Foreign Minister invited the Turkish ambassador to The Hague after the publication in De newspaper Telegraaf whereby Yusuf Adjara Turkish diplomat and simultaneously chairman of Annex Directorate of Turkish Religious Affairs in the Netherlands, admitted that drew up a list of "gkiouleniston '.

Ankara blames supporters of exile in the US preacher Fethullah Gülen that supported the coup attempt, which killed more than 240 people. In Turkey, more than 100,000 persons have been detained, suspended or deposed: government officials, journalists, judges, police and military. Tension has spread to ollandotourkiki community, which numbers more than 500,000 members. Some members of the community at the expense of which are suspected of supporting the Gulen face threats to their lives.

In a statement released by the Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Kundera described the publication of De Telechraf "alarming". "We will ask for clarification," added the head of the Dutch diplomacy.

"In addition, we will be in contact with the Turkish authorities and the Ntianet (en Diyanet ?? leri Ba? Kanl ???, the Directorate of Religious Affairs) in Ankara. This is part of our policy to prevent any incident which may engage the "long arm" of our Turkish counterparts, "says Kundera said.

The Adjara told the newspaper that he composed the list drawing data from open sources, as part of his work at the Embassy of Turkey to the Netherlands and not in his capacity as head of the Directorate of Religious Affairs.

The Foreign Minister of the Netherlands pointed out that "if this is true, the combination of diplomatic status with the chair Ntianet is problematic."
