AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch Cabinet on Friday declared that Turkey's Vice Prime Minister Tugrul Türkes was not welcome to travel to the Netherlands for a ceremony among Turkish expatriates commemorating last year's failed coup,

A statement by the Foreign Affairs Ministry said attendance by Turkes or other members of Turkey's government was undesirable "given the current circumstances in the bilateral relations between our land".
