Is this a direct threat?

So he's basically saying that any flights from Holland will be refused landing.
I doubt that it will come to that. When RTE calms down a bit there will be a few token landing refusals for Dutch diplomats at the Ankara embassy. So far, the Dutch Ambassador to Turkey, who is currently on holiday, has been told not to come back for a while. Far nastier is the threat from the Turkish Foeign Ministry that "the Dutch-Turkish community will cause serious problems diplomatically, politically, economically and in other areas" . That seems likely to crank up pre-election tension in the Netherlands.

Losing income from Dutch tourists is probably the least of many folks worries right now.

Unless tourism is your only source of income.

Did the Dutch refuse to allow this rally this weekend because of their own elections? Heightened security because of that was a concern so,it was felt unsafe to add to any situation.

    In another twist to the drama is has been discovered that Micheal Flynn, who had to resign from Trumps new cabinet for his

    dealings with Russia, was working as an agent for Turkey and was paid £ 500,000 for this work.?? Over this weekend Trump

    has fired 50 Prosecutors, including the one in the link below. This guy was a top prosecutor and was handling the Zarrab case,

    the Iranian / Turkish businessman of shoe box fame. Watch this space. !!
