The Public Council under the State Service of Ukraine on Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience adopted a statement through the demonstrative and provocative burning of the Koran in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, in which it assessed such actions. This statement is published on its website by the Crimean Tatar Resource Center.

The text says that the cases of burning the Holy Book are inciting inter-religious hatred and an infringement on the rights and feelings of believers..

The Public Council believes that these incidents are related to the destructive activities of the Russian special services in Europe and the Middle East. Representatives of the institution demand that the authorized bodies of the countries where the provocations took place conduct the most thorough analysis of the real causes of these illegal acts and establish those involved.

The organization called on the UN, the OSCE, the European Union and the Council of Europe, together with the governments, religious structures and civil society of European countries, to treat the provocations already carried out and likely to come as responsibly as possible, and to take all measures to preserve interfaith peace and harmony..
