Istanbul (AFP) – Turkey on Saturday called off a visit by Sweden's defence minister over a planned demonstration by a right-wing extremist in Stockholm.
Turkey has been angered by permission obtained by Rasmus Paludan, a Swedish-Danish politician whose anti-Islamist actions sparked riots across Sweden last year, to stage a protest in front of its embassy in the Swedish capital.
A day after summoning the Swedish ambassador over the issue, Ankara said it was cancelling a visit by Sweden's defence chief that was aimed at overcoming Turkey's objections to Sweden's bid to join the NATO military alliance.
"At this point, Swedish Defence Minister Pal Jonson's visit to Turkey on January 27 has lost its significance and meaning, so we cancelled the visit," Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said.
Jonson also confirmed the decision to postpone the visit, which he said was made together with Akar at the US military base in Ramstein, Germany, on Friday.
"Our relations with Turkey are very important to Sweden, and we look forward to continuing the dialogue on common security and defence issues at a later date," he tweeted.
Paludan has expressed his intention to "burn the Koran", Islam's holy book, during his protest on Saturday.
In April last year, Paludan's announcement of a Koran burning "tour" for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan sparked riots across Sweden.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu hoped that Swedish authorities would not allow the protest.
"It's a racist action, it's not about freedom of expression," he said.

Same. Multiculturalism is a terrible failure.
Homogeneous societies have enough issues.
The US isn’t a unifying melting pot, it’s a Balkanized cluster f.
Our future is North Brazil. 100+ years of sheer stupidity is baked in.
Do you even think about what you comment on.? Population mixing has worked for this over 100 years. It is the advent of political movements that have caused all of the current problems .
Enjoy your future.
Considering just European ethnic groups, population mixing has worked genetically in the US to produce mostly hybrids fairly effectively.
However, the blending of European ethnic cultures has resulted in only a dissolute bland goofiness.
It’s not about DNA, it’s about incompatible cultures.
We used to believe in “The Melting Pot” concept, that people would just blend in and create a unique American culture. And it worked, until the Left started to call it “racist” and prefer the “Tossed Salad” (aka ‘Balkanization’).
Kick Turkey out of NATO
Once Russia is weakened, Turkey will go rogue, and rebuild The Ottoman Empire.
