Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan resolutely condemned the anti -Islamic provocation in Sweden, where an action was authorized with the burning of the Holy Quran.
Turning on Thursday to the functionaries of the ruling party of justice and development of Turkey, the head of state said that the reaction of Ankara to what happened in Stockholm would be extremely strict and this course will continue until the moment when the West began to demonstrate determination to combat the manifestations of Islamophobia and terrorism.
The Turkish leader emphasized that the structures that authorize vile anti -Islamic actions under the mask of freedom of expression, or ignoring manifestations of Islamophobia have not achieved their goals. “An insult to the beliefs of Muslims has nothing to do with the freedom of expression. Sooner or later we will force certain circles in the West to recognize this fact!” The head of state said.

Erdogan assured that Turkey will never follow the lead of the forces trying to provoke it or use the language of threats to Ankara.
