Turkish Communications Director Fahrettin Altun strongly condemns the repeat of a “disgusting attack” on the Muslim holy book, the Quran, and a Turkish flag in Denmark
Altun said targeting sacred values and symbols with the clear intent of stirring violent reactions cannot be considered freedom of speech.
"We have unfortunately become accustomed to these kinds of incidents throughout Europe. These are clearly provocations to spark backlash from Muslims and Turkish people to be able to depict us in negative light. We will not play this game, but we will also not ignore it," Altun added. "European governments and civil society organisations must act now, not later, to confront these acts of terrorism forcefully if they are interested in a peaceful dialogue between different religions and cultures. They cannot allow these provocateurs to spread their hate," Altun added.
"We declare and condemn as accomplices those who turn a blind eye to these charlatans by remaining insensitive and silent, and almost incite them to crime by leaving them unpunished," he added.
