Turkish minister visits Switzerland amid row
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu met with his Swiss counterpart Thursday after having to call off a campaign appearance amongst diaspora voters, in a bitter row between Ankara and Europe.
Relations between Turkey and Europe have been severely strained since several Turkish ministers were blocked from campaigning on the continent for a 'yes' vote in next month's referendum on boosting the powers of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Swiss Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter "underscored the validity of Swiss law on Swiss soil, urged Turkey to comply with it," a statement said.
