NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on March 13 urged Turkey and its NATO allies to reduce tensions stoked by Ankara’s demands that it be allowed to send government officials to rally Turks living in Germany and The Netherlands.

“I will encourage all allies to show mutual respect, to be calm and have a measured approach to contribute to de-escalate the tensions,” Stoltenberg said when asked about the standoff ahead of Turkey’s April 16 referendum on constitutional amendments.
