Turkey Summons Danish, Dutch Envoys over Continued Quran Desecration

The ministry expressed its dissatisfaction with these continued "vile attacks" to the charge d'affaires of the Denmark Embassy and minister counselor of the Netherlands in Ankara, said the sources, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

"It was once again emphasized that Turkey condemns these acts in the strongest possible terms," they added.

The move came after the continuation of the burning of Quran in front of Turkey’s embassies in Copenhagen and The Hague, as well as the embassies of some Muslim countries.

Islamophobic figures and groups in Northern Europe in recent months have repeatedly carried out Quran burnings and similar attempts to desecrate the Muslim holy book, drawing outrage from Muslim countries and the world.
