Turkish president Recep Tayip Erdogan blamed the Dutch for the Srebrenica massacres during a live televised address on Tuesday, causing outrage in the Netherlands.

"We know the Dutch from the Srebrenica massacre. We know how rotten their character is from their massacre of 8,000 Bosnians there," Erdogan said in the speech.

Europe is in shut down mode, as capitals across the continent are entering high alert levels in the wake of the deadly attacks in Brussels. The French-Belgian borders have been closed while Germany and the UK have stepped up their security levels. The Dutch military is on top alert level, while most European major airports have also upped their security measures.
