A far-right activist from Denmark has received permission from police to stage a protest outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm, where he intends to burn the Quran, Islam’s holy book.Turkey has so far refused to approve bids by Sweden and Finland to join NATO, which needs sign-off by all member states.Paludan, who also holds Swedish citizenship, has staged similar protests before in both Denmark and Sweden, some of which have sparked violent counterdemonstrations.He didn't want to speculate on how Paludan's protest, which has been authorized by police, would affect Sweden's NATO bid, while noting that “everything that prolongs the process unnecessarily is of course something we take very seriously.”A group calling itself the Swedish Solidarity Committee for Rojava, which claimed it was behind the effigy, is also planning a demonstration against Erdogan and Swedish NATO accession on Saturday, TT reported.Meanwhile, pro-Turkey activists are expected to gather for a separate demonstration near the Turkish Embassy."
