(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 27. The Danish
ambassador in Ankara has been summoned to the Turkish Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, trend reports via the Turkish media.
The reason was Denmark's permission given to an anti-Islam
activist to burn the Holy Quran during protests in Copenhagen.
Rasmus Paludan, a far-right activist who holds both Danish and
Swedish citizenship, infuriated Türkiye by staging a Quran-burning
protest in Sweden on January 21, 2023. He told the Swedish
Aftonbladet newspaper that he would replicate the protest in front
of the Turkish embassy in Copenhagen until Sweden is admitted into
NATO.
Turkish officials resolutely condemned this provocative act
which clearly constitutes a hate crime. The ambassador was told
that“Denmark's attitude is unacceptable” and that the said act
should not be allowed.
