Protesters Take Down Dutch Flag at Istanbul Consulate

Protesters briefly took down the Dutch flag at The Netherlands' consulate in Istanbul on Sunday and replaced it with a Turkish one, AFP journalists saw, as tensions escalated in a diplomatic row.

Demonstrators gathered at the consulate in anger after The Netherlands refused on Saturday to allow Turkey's foreign minister to enter the country for a rally.
