The sources said that it was conveyed to the envoy that Türkiye strongly condemns the permission of the provocative act, which clearly promotes a hate crime, and that the attitude of Denmark is not acceptable.
Ankara emphasized that they expect the act will not be allowed.
Friday’s attack was reported a week after extreme-right Swedish-Danish politician Rasmus Paludan on January 21 burned a copy of the Quran, near the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm with permission from the authorities, drawing a strong wave of condemnations from across the Islamic world.
