– The Nazis started by burning books, then attacked the religious gathering places, and then they gathered people in camps and burned them to achieve their ultimate goals. That's how things like this start, says Cavusoglu according to Turkish media, TT reports.
It was on Tuesday that the administrative court decided to overturn the police's decision to stop Koran burnings at the Turkish and Iraqi embassies in Stockholm.

According to the court, it was wrong for the police and Säpo to deny permission to two such gatherings, citing that they could increase the threat of attacks against Sweden and “Swedish interests”.
The verdict is now attracting a lot of attention in Turkey , who has previously stated that Sweden will not be allowed to join NATO as long as the Koran burnings are allowed.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says at an appearance that Koran burning is a “hate crime that must be stopped”, TT reports.< /p>
