Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan slammed Sweden over the burning of a Quran and said Turkey would never bow down to a policy of provocation or threat.

Erdogan said Turkey would show the possible strongest reaction to what he called the vile protest.
What happened at the Quran burning?
Swedish police had granted permission for the anti-Quran protest to take place. But after the burning, police charged the man who carried it out with agitation against an ethnic or national group.
