<p>Mr Erdogan hit out on Sunday days after a local authority in south-west Germany prevented a Turkish minister from addressing a rally.</p>
<p>He said: <i>&#8220;In Germany, they are not allowing our friends to speak. Let them do so. Do you think that by not allowing them to speak the votes in Germany will come out &#8216;no&#8217; instead of &#8216;yes?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;Germany, you don&#8217;t have anything to do with democracy. These current practices of yours are no different than the Nazi practices of the past.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>On Thursday, Turkey&#8217;s justice minister cancelled a meeting with his German counterpart after local authorities in the south-west of the country withdrew permission for him to use a venue to hold a rally near the French border. It was part of a campaign to get Turks in Germany to vote &#8220;yes&#8221; in the referendum.</p>
<p>There are about 1.4 million people in Germany who are eligible to vote in the Turkish referendum.</p>
<p>Julia Kloeckner, a deputy leader of Chancellor Angela Merkel&#8217;s Christian Democratic Union, told the German daily Bild that Erdogan&#8217;s Nazi comparison was &#8220;a new pinnacle of immoderation.&#8221;</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Mr Erdogan is reacting like a stubborn child who can&#8217;t get his own way,&#8221;</i> she told the paper.</p>
<p>Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern, in an interview with the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, said it is time to pull the plug on long-stalled moves to bring Turkey into the 28-nation EU.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;We shouldn&#8217;t just temporarily suspend the accession talks with Turkey but end them,&#8221;</i> Kern said.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;We can&#8217;t continue to negotiate about membership with a country that has been steadily distancing itself for years, during ongoing access talks, from democratic standards and principles of the rule of law.&#8221;</i></p>
