TEHRAN, Jul 21 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran summoned the Swedish ambassador, to protest against the desecration of the Quran in Sweden.
Swedish Ambassador in Tehran, Mattias Lentz, was summoned by Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Nasser Kanaani, who conveyed the Islamic republic’s “strong protest” over the sacrilege of the Quran in Sweden, the report said.
“We strongly condemn the repeated desecration of the Holy Quran and Islamic sanctities in Sweden, and we hold the Swedish government fully responsible for the consequences of inciting the feelings of Muslims around the world,” Kanaani was quoted as saying.
