It explained that Turkey expressed its strong criticism and protest against the Danish authorities after the incident.
Yesterday, Friday, an extremist group burned the Turkish flag and the Holy Quran in front of the Ankara embassy in Copenhagen.
The extremist attack was carried out by supporters of a group called “Patrioterne Gar Live (Patriots Live)” in Denmark, where the attack was broadcast live on the group’s Facebook account.
The perpetrators of the attack also raised anti-Islam banners, chanting slogans insulting to Islam, as well as attacking the Turkish flag by burning.
