[QUOTE="armchairtraveler, post: 51, member: 12"] Ankara cited recent anti-Muslim and anti-Turkish activities in Europe as reasons for the travel warning. The move comes after four European countries updated their travel advice for Turkey. [HEADING=1]Turkey alarmed by anti-Muslim and anti-Turkish demos[/HEADING] The Turkish Foreign Ministry called on citizens in Europe to avoid areas where demonstrations are taking place. Turkey said recent anti-Muslim and anti-Turkish acts show the "dangerous level of religious intolerance and hatred" on the continent. Turkey has been angered by far-right activist Rasmus Paludan setting a Quran on fire in Sweden and Denmark. Another far-right activist desecrated the holy book as a provocative act in the Netherlands, leading Turkey to summon the Dutch envoy. [URL='https://www.dw.com/en/turkey-dissatisfied-with-swedish-reaction-to-erdogan-effigy/a-64387403']The Turkish government was also enraged[/URL] by a recent Kurdish protest in Sweden which showed an effigy of Recep Tayyip Erdogan being strung up. Turkey believes those protests have links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is also recognized as a terrorist group by the US and EU.
