US statement on the burning of the Qur’an

Answering questions at the daily press conference, Price also referred to the burning of the Holy Quran in front of the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm.

“As elements of democracy, we support the right to organize and assemble. However, as the Swedish Prime Minister (Ulf Kristersson) said, burning a book that is sacred to many people is an act of disrespect.” saying.

Stating that everything that is legal does not mean that it is appropriate, Price recalled that in 2010 a priest in Florida planned to organize an event to burn the Holy Quran, “Some things may be legal but ugly.” saying.

“BAD MIND”

Asked by his reporter if he would condemn the incident, the spokesperson said the incident was disturbing and extremely disrespectful, but did not directly condemn the incident.

Then, the reporter said: “Even the United Nations has condemned it, what prevents the Foreign Ministry from condemning it?” Price asked him: “No one is defending what happened there. You heard the same thing from high-ranking Swedish officials. Democracies have freedom of assembly. There is free speech, and this free speech can sometimes give people the right to commit disrespectful, disgusting, and disgusting acts. All of this defines what happened.” he gave the answer.

QUALIFIED AS PROVOCATOR

The AA correspondent said: “You used all kinds of expressions on this subject. You said it was disrespectful, you said it was disgusting, you said it was disgusting, but you didn’t condemn it. Even Russia condemned it. Why don’t you condemn this act of hate?” he posed the question.

Price said: “I have no hesitation in condemning this action. As I said before, this is a disgusting act.” he answered him, but still did not condemn him.

Reiterating his previous statements, Price contented himself with saying that this act was “brutal” and that the perpetrator was a “provocateur”.
