Shops in Russian Region Boycotts Goods from Denmark
Major trade network in the Russian internal republic of Tatarstan with about 50 percent Muslim population has removed Danish goods from its stores. Edelweiss Group is the biggest trade network in the region, possessing almost half of all grocery stores in the republic and its capital of Kazan. The company decided to boycott several sorts of sausage and ham, as well as Danish beer. The company’s press service quoted by Radio Liberty said this decision had been made in response to the release of cartoons of Prophet Mohammed in the Danish press. It added the company would have acted the same if any other religion had been insulted. “We think that one cannot offend the feelings of believers whether they are Moslems, Christians, Jews or Buddhists,” the company’s leadership quoted by the radio said. Announcements on the boycott of Danish goods have been posted in all the company’s stores.
