President of Kazakhstan Kasym-Zhomart Tokaev considers acts of burning the Koran in a number of states of Northern Europe with improper provocations aimed at injuring tension in the modern world, undermining the confidence between peoples and states.
“Kazakhstan is the initiator of the congresses of the leaders of world and traditional religions. This forum has become a platform for an effective and fruitful dialogue between prominent representatives of traditional religions and faiths,” the Akorda press service said.
According to the head of state, the frequent cases of religious vandalism and irresponsible behavior of citizens of the relevant states should be subjected to unanimous condemnation as shares that are contrary to the generally recognized norms of the civilized coexistence of states and religions.
