Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that freedom of speech and artistic freedom do not mean that other religious figures, including the Prophet of Islam, have been allowed to blaspheme.

According to the World News Agency, Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at the annual press conference on the importance of artistic expression without hindering religious freedom, said that artistic freedom is important, but that 'it is also important to respect sentiments and the holiness of others. ??

The Russian president added that the arrogance of the Prophet of Islam does not count as freedom of expression. Those who say it give weak arguments. We must avoid hurting others. It is a criminal act to hurt someone.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that artistic freedom has its limits and should not infringe on anyone else's freedom. The insulting images of religious figures incite their loved ones to violence.

On this occasion, the Russian president also referred to the publication of blasphemous sketches by the Prophet of Islam on the writing of Charlie Hebdo magazine and the subsequent attack on the magazine's office.

President Putin also said that Russia is a multi-ethnic and multi-denominational state, so our country respects the traditions of others, but some countries do not.
