The German city of Wiesbaden has removed a 4m (13ft) golden statue of Turkey's president after it was defaced with the words "Turkish Hitler".

The statue of Recep Tayyip Erdogan was installed in a square as part of Wiesbaden's Biennale arts festival.

Organisers said they had hoped it would spark discussions linked to this year's theme - "bad news".

Instead, it prompted conflict between Mr Erdogan's supporters and critics. Firefighters moved it on Tuesday night.

City councillor Oliver Franz told the Wiesbadener Kurier newspaper that angry words had escalated into physical scuffles, and "bladed weapons were spotted".

"In agreement with state police, Mayor Sven Gerich decided to have the statue removed as security could no longer be guaranteed," the city's government tweeted.

So they likened him to one of their most favorite leaders? Interesting...

The odds of Turkey ever being allowed into the EU are the same as Samoa beating Brazil 30-0 and winning the World Cup.

Depends if you mean the Rugby World Cup or the Football World Cup.

I doubt they will ever join, Erdogan pushes them back everyday he's in office. I feel like Turkeys future is more to the east than the west, especially with Erdies links to Putin. The EU is a failed project.
