Türkiye will not formally approve Finland and Sweden's NATO membership until the Nordic nations take 'steps' against PKK terror group and its franchises, President Erdogan tells alliance chief Stoltenberg
Türkiye will not formally approve Finland and Sweden's membership of NATO until the two countries take necessary "steps" against the PKK terror group and its franchises, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told alliance chief Jens Stoltenberg.
Following the meeting, Stoltenberg praised Türkiye's role in the resumption of the Black Sea grain deal. Ankara has accused the two Nordic nations of providing a safe haven for PKK terrorists and held back on ratifying their NATO membership until both countries follow the terms of the deal they signed in June.
But Erdogan resisted their bids and sought concessions, leading to a deal in June between Türkiye, Finland and Sweden that included provisions on extraditions and sharing information.New Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson will visit Ankara on Tuesday to meet with Erdogan in a trip that Stockholm hopes will lead to Türkiye's approval.
