As informs Censor.NЕТ, On January 23, the Turkish leader told АР news agency that he was outraged by the actions of activists in Stockholm who burned the Quran.

"If Sweden does not respect Turkey, as well as the religious feelings of Muslims, it will not receive any support from us for NATO membership," the Turkish leader emphasized.
On January 2, far-right politician Rasmus Paludan and his supporters publicly burned a Koran near the Turkish embassy in the Swedish capital. This worsened relations between the two countries.
