The foreign ministry condemned as “regressive” a decision by Turkish authorities to schedule Koran readings in Hagia Sophia museum in Istanbul, on the occasion of the Ramadan.
“Obsessions, verging on bigotry, with Muslim rituals in a monument of world cultural heritage are incomprehensible and reveal a lack of respect for and connection with reality,” the ministry said.
“Moreover, such actions are not compatible with modern, democratic and secular societies,” it added.
