Austria to support Germany in barring Turks from participating in death penalty referendum

German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said earlier on Friday that it would not allow Turks to vote on its territory in any Turkish referendum on reintroduction of the death penalty - a measure proposed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after July's failed army coup attempt.
