43
The Turkish parliament has established its own commission to investigate the situation with Islamophobia in four EU countries, reports RIA News Belga news agency.
According to the agency, "the deputies will focus on those states where, in their opinion, manifestations of Islamophobia are most pronounced - Austria, Germany, France and Belgium."
At the same time, parliamentarians plan to obtain permission from the authorities of these countries to conduct investigations on the spot. The commission will begin work on January 9.
According to the agency, the initiative of the Turkish parliament was “a response to numerous racist statements by Austrian citizens that followed news that the first child born in 2018 in Vienna was a girl of Turkish origin ”.
Let us remind you that this is not the first time that Austria has been accused of attacking Muslims. So, at the end of June, the Islamic community of the country was criticized for the proposal of Sebastian Kurz (at that time he held the post of Foreign Minister) to close Muslim kindergartens in the republic. Community representatives called such a statement unacceptable.
