Trukey and Sweden Conflict: The controversy seems to be catching on after a copy of the Quran was burnt outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has reacted after the Quran burning incident. He has said in clear words that Sweden should not expect Turkey’s support to join NATO countries.
Turkish President Erdogan on Monday officially reacted to the Quran incident for the first time. He said in a press conference after the cabinet meeting that the act done in front of the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm is shameful, there is no place in the society for such things. People who do this after this incident cannot expect good news from us on NATO membership.
He further said that no one has the freedom to insult anyone’s religion and religion. Everyone should take care of each other’s feelings. Earlier, many Muslim countries including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan have expressed their displeasure over the burning of Quran, the holy book of Islam in Sweden.
Significantly, on Saturday, Rasmus Paludan, leader of the right-wing Ström Kurs party in Sweden, set fire to the Quran outside the Turkish embassy amid tensions with Turkey over NATO membership. He also got permission from the government to set fire to the copy of Quran during the demonstration. After the incident, Turkey attacked Sweden fiercely.
sweden apologized
The Prime Minister of Sweden has apologized for getting into trouble for burning the Quran. He wrote in tweeting that freedom of expression is a fundamental part of democracy, but what is legal is not necessary. For many people, burning holy books is a very reprehensible act. I express my sympathy to all Muslims who are hurt by what happened in Stockholm.
What is the Swedish-Turkish dispute
Actually, Sweden had applied for NATO membership. That’s why Turkey stopped it from becoming a member of NATO, because while joining NATO, if any member country opposes, then the new country does not get the membership of NATO. Turkey is already a member of NATO. This is the reason why the people of Sweden are angry with Turkey.
