Turkey Condemns Quran Desecration In Denmark

Turkey's Foreign Ministry on Saturday condemned the desecration of the Quran in Denmark.

Denouncing the late Friday incident as a "hate crime," the Foreign Ministry said Turkey will never accept such vile actions being allowed.

The ministry urged Danish authorities to take immediate action against the perpetrators.

And also take concrete measures to prevent further provocations that threaten social harmony and peaceful coexistence.

The ministry added that the act amounts to a hate crime and displays the worrying level of anti-Muslim hatred, discrimination, and xenophobia in Europe.

The incident comes amid a politician named Rasmus Paludan, who burnt a copy of the Quran in front of a mosque in Copenhagen.
