Türkiye summons European representatives over Quran desecration

Ankara, Aug 22 (Prensa Latina) Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has summoned the charge d'affaires of the Danish Embassy and the minister counselor of the Netherlands Embassy in Ankara over the continued desecration of Quran, Islam's holy book, diplomatic sources stated on Tuesday.

The Foreign Ministry reiterated that Türkiye condemns and protests these actions in the strongest possible terms, those sources, quoted by local television, added.

The move followed the continuation of Quran burnings before Turkish embassies in Copenhagen and The Hague, as well as other diplomatic headquarters of some Muslim countries.

Islamophobic individuals and groups in northern Europe have repeatedly carried out Quran burnings and similar attempts to desecrate the holy book recently, sparking outrage in Muslim countries and globally.
