Turkey lashes out at Wilders

"Turkey's foreign ministry has fiercely criticised Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders, calling his ideas racist and fascist.

A delegation of Dutch MPs are planning to visit Turkey early in January. A Turkish foreign ministry spokesman says relations between his country and the Netherlands will suffer if Mr Wilders is part of the group. He says neither Turkey's government nor members of its parliament are willing to meet the populist Dutch MP."
