“Book burning is idiots’ view” says the Swedish Consulate

Event in front of Turkish embassy will further inflame tensions between two countries

Turkey has condemned a demonstration involving the burning of Qur’ans in Sweden on Saturday, further inflaming tensions between the two countries amid Stockholm’s Nato bid.

Presidency Communications Director Fahrettin Altun responds by saying this is an “intellectually lazy, dull, and purposefully ignorant depiction of Türkiye.”
