Turkey’s foreign minister has criticised the burning of the Qur’an outside a Stockholm mosque in a demonstration that could further complicate Ankara’s long-delayed approval of Sweden’s application to join Nato.
The protest came as Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, told the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, on Wednesday that Sweden had made some progress, but not enough. Nato said top diplomats from both countries would meet in Brussels next week.
