 Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Saturday (21 Jan 2023) that he hoped Swedish authorities would not allow a protest that includes burning the Quran.

“This permission is granted to this person, despite all our warnings. This vile act will take place at around 1600 Turkish time (1300 GMT), I hope Swedish authorities will take necessary measures until then and will not allow this,” Cavusoglu said to reporters. Cavusoglu also said the protest could not classified as freedom of expression.
