Ankara: The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns the “repeated despicable attacks” on the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
“The Danish authorities must act within the framework of their international responsibilities and take the necessary measures to prevent these heinous acts, which fuel hatred against Islam and its billions of followers,” the ministry said in a statement.
Earlier on Monday, two protesters from the Danish far-right group Danish Patriots burned a copy of the Koran in front of the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen, where the group held a similar demonstration days earlier to protest the Iraqi attack on the Swedish embassy in Baghdad, Xinhua reported.
