Turkey summons DK chargé d’affaires
Turkey’s Foreign Ministry summoned Denmark’s chargé d’affaires on Monday for talks in connection with Koran burnings, TRT Haber reported according to Reuters. A Dutch diplomat has also been summoned for talks. Danish ambassadors to countries such as Iran, Egypt and Algeria have previously been called in for talks in connection with the Koran burnings in recent months. During the spring and summer, there have been a number of Koran burning episodes in Denmark and Sweden – causing widespread resentment in Muslim countries. Turkey has repeatedly condemned the burnings. The Danish government has announced that it will look at how to prevent the burning of Korans and other holy scriptures in special situations. /ritzau/
