Turkish President Erdogan denounces police raid at a mosque in German capital, saying the actions were 'obviously nourished by racism and Islamophobia'
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara would never allow any excuse for vulgar violations of any place of worship.
"Europe, which for years has been referred to as the cradle of democracy, human rights, and freedoms, has today unfortunately turned into a structure that fights its differences," Erdogan said. "Such an ugly act in the capital of a country that tries to lecture others on freedom of expression and belief is also thought-provoking," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday.
