		</div><p>Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has drawn criticism from Germany and elsewhere in Europe after accusing Chancellor Angela Merkel of &#8220;committing Nazi practices&#8221;.</p>
<p>Yesterday&#8217;s accusation was the latest in a string of Turkish comments drawing Nazi parallels with present-day Germany and the Netherlands in a dispute over restrictions on Turkish officials campaigning there in a referendum campaign.</p>
<p>Peter Tauber, the general secretary of Mrs Merkel&#8217;s conservative party, told N24 television on today that &#8220;this is real effrontery toward our chancellor&#8221;.</p>
<p>However, he added that &#8220;we can allow ourselves to be outraged, stamp our feet and perhaps fight back &#8211; but the chancellor has to safeguard our country&#8217;s interests&#8221;.</p>
<p>The European Parliament&#8217;s president, Antonio Tajani, wrote on Twitter: &#8220;An unacceptable attack by @RT_Erdogan on a democratic country that guarantees all fundamental rights.&#8221;</p>
<p>Turkey is voting on whether or not to extend Mr Erdogan&#8217;s powers on April 16, and the president has criticised countries including Germany for not allowing his ministers to campaign on their soil for Turkish nationals&#8217; votes.</p>
