Turkey said on Saturday that it had called off a visit by Sweden’s defence minister over a planned anti-Turkey protest in Stockholm. The Swedish minister visit was aimed at overcoming Ankara’s objections to Sweden’s bid to join the NATO military alliance. The Danish-Swedish politician, Rasmus Paludan, whose anti-Islamist actions sparked riots across Sweden last year, has expressed his intention to “burn the Koran”, Islam’s holy book, during his protest on Saturday.
