<p>Mevlut Cavusoglu said the ambassador was called back to Ankara for &#8220;consultations&#8221;.</p>
<p>Ties between Turkey and Austria have been tense for several weeks, with a top Austrian official saying Turkey was heading toward a dictatorship and other leaders calling for an end to Turkey&#8217;s European Union membership talks.</p>
<p>Turkey, in turn, has described Austria as the &#8220;capital of radical racism&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Cavusoglu said Ambassador Hasan Gogus was withdrawn after Austrian authorities decided to allow alleged supporters of Turkey&#8217;s Kurdish rebels to hold a demonstration in Vienna over the weekend.</p>
<p>He also cited rising anti-Turkish rhetoric in Austria.</p>
<p>Mr Cavusoglu said: &#8220;We saw that&#8230; the PKK and its supporters were given permission to stage a demonstration in Vienna.</p>
<p>&#8220;This does not comply with honesty or sincerity. We couldn&#8217;t stay inactive against this attitude which supports terrorism.&#8221;</p>
<p>He was referring to the Kurdistan Workers&#8217; Party, which Turkey and its allies consider a terror organisation.</p>
<p>Fighting between the PKK and Turkey&#8217;s security forces resumed last year after a fragile peace process collapsed.</p>
<p>The group has stepped up attacks targeting police and military in Turkey and at least a dozen people were killed in a string of bombings last week.</p>
<p>Mr Cavusoglu said Austria&#8217;s top diplomat in Ankara was also called to the ministry over the demonstration in Vienna.</p>
<p>There was no immediate response from Austrian officials.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, the ground for our bilateral relations and co-operation to continue as normal has disappeared,&#8221; Mr Cavusoglu said.</p>
