Türkiye summons the Danish ambassador for burning a copy of the Holy Quran and the Turkish flag
On Friday , the Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned Danish Ambassador Danny Annan for burning a copy of the Holy Quran and the Turkish flag during a public demonstration in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.
"It is unacceptable to allow these despicable attacks under the guise of freedom of expression," the ministry said in a statement, noting that the act was permitted despite Turkey's warnings.
Turkish media reported that an anti-Muslim group called (Patriots Go Live) burned a copy of the Holy Quran and the Turkish flag in front of the Turkish embassy in Copenhagen earlier today. Similar attacks took place in front of the embassy on March 24 and 31.
The ministry said that such actions are condemned by all Muslims in the world, and urged Denmark to prevent such provocations and take deterrent preventive measures.
The ministry informed the Danish envoy that Turkey will continue its efforts in multilateral forums to combat similar anti-Islamic attacks and hate crimes.
