Austria bans entry of Turkish economy minister
Austria has banned Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekçi from entering the country for failed coup anniversary event, a spokesperson for Austria's Foreign Ministry said Monday.
"I can confirm that [Austrian] Foreign Minister [Sebastian] Kurz has in fact forbidden the Turkish economy minister from entering the country," the spokesperson said.

Last week, the Netherlands also banned Deputy Prime Minister Tuğrul Türkeş from attending a similar event in the country to commemorate the failed coup with Turkish citizens living in the country.
