THE AMBASSADOR OF DENMARK IN ANKARA IS SUGGESTED TO FOREIGNERS

In the pronouncement, it was emphasized that the insufficiency of legal and administrative measures to prevent such acts, the lack of political will, as well as the impunity of the perpetrators, encouraged new provocations.

“This action is clear proof that anti-Islamism, xenophobia, discrimination and racism have increased in Europe recently. Such hate crime acts are also an attack on anyone who believes in tolerance, a culture of peaceful coexistence and democratic values. Not being able to see this and tolerate these actions is a great madness.

It has been conveyed to the Ambassador of Denmark (Ankara) (Danny Annan) who we have summoned to our Ministry where we strongly condemn and protest the aforementioned despicable attack. We strongly urge the Danish authorities to take the necessary measures against the perpetrators of this crime and take effective measures to prevent such provocations from happening again.”
