MOSCOW (AA) - The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry condemned on Friday the Quran burning in Sweden.
"We strongly condemn the despicable act of burning Quran in Sweden. We call on the authorities to take all necessary measures against the perpetrators and prevent the recurrence of such hate crimes," the ministry said on Twitter.
Early Thursday morning, a crowd of Iraqis stormed Sweden’s Embassy in Baghdad and set it ablaze in protest of the June 28 burning of a copy of the Quran by Salwan Momika, an Iraqi-born man who now lives in Sweden.
Sweden’s Foreign Ministry condemned the attack on its embassy in Iraq’s capital, calling it a “serious violation” of the Vienna Convention.
Many countries, including the US, Russia, Türkiye, Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Afghanistan, as well as other Muslim states, have decried the attack.
