d'affaires of Denmark in Ankara over another act of desecration of
Islam's holy book, the Quran, Turkish diplomatic sources said, Azernews reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
"In response to the continued acts of burning of our sacred
Quran in front of our embassy in Copenhagen and the embassies of
(other) Muslim countries, the charge d'Affaires of Denmark's
Embassy in Ankara has once again been summoned to our ministry
today, "said the sources, who asked not to be named due to
restrictions on speaking to the media.
The move came after the burning of the Quran in Denmark's
capital Copenhagen for the fourth day in a row this week.
Türkiye has so far summoned the Danish envoy five times this
month due to desecration of the Quran.

repeatedly carried out Quran burnings and similar attempts in
recent months to desecrate the Muslim holy book, drawing outrage
from Muslim countries and the rest of the world.
