Saudi Arabia and Türkiye condemned the desecration of the Holy Quran, joining the global outcry against religious intolerance.

Iran Press/Middle East: Saudi Arabia’s Government condemned and rejected the repeated desecration of the Holy Quran in a number of European countries.

Saudi Arabia’s cabinet said it was important that the governments of those countries addressed practices that hurt the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world.

The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement on the repeated attacks against the Holy Quran in Sweden.

"We condemn in the strongest terms the despicable attack targeting our holy book, the Quran, in front of the Iraqi Embassy in Stockholm today," the statement read.

"We expect Sweden to take measures to deter and prevent this hate crime against the religion of Islam and its billions of believers within the framework of its international responsibilities, especially its obligations at the UN, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the Council of Europe," the statement said.

"Türkiye is ready to work together with countries where such attacks take place in the areas of Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, and discrimination."
