Turkey's twisted facts

The incidents in which Chinese tourists were attacked and disturbed in Turkey last week has drawn grave concerns in China over the safety of Chinese sightseers.

After the local media reported that China had banned Ramadan in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, multiple attacks targeting Chinese tourists have occurred in Turkey amid anti-China protests across the country.

But the reports that Muslims in Xinjiang had been barred from praying and fasting during the holy month of Ramadan are a blatant distortion of facts.
