Turkey Fumes Over Quran Burning, Threatens Sweden's NATO Bid; US Calls Stockholm Protest Sabotage

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey has cautioned Sweden against counting on his support in their bid to join NATO. His warning comes shortly after a Quran burning incident took place in Stockholm during a protest on January 21st. The demonstration, held near the Turkish embassy, has exacerbated tensions between the two nations. Erdogan expressed his anger regarding the event and questioned the Swedish government's approval of the rally. This latest dispute could potentially hinder Sweden's aspirations of becoming a member of NATO.
