Turkish Erdogan Ankara considers Finland’s NATO without Sweden
Ankara could consider Finland’s NATO entry without Sweden proposing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggested today, Sunday, January 29, that officials in Ankara could consider Finland’s application for NATO membership separately from Sweden, as reported by PAW.
“If necessary, we can send a different message about Finland, if it does not repeat the same mistakes,” the Turkish president said. He was referring to recent incidents involving copies of the Muslim holy book, the Koran. He added that Sweden will be shocked when this happens.
Earlier today, John Kirby, the White House National Security Council’s strategic communications coordinator, insisted that the US would not interfere in the situation regarding Finland and Sweden’s entry into NATO.
At the same time, however, he noted that Washington urged Ankara to continue to solve its problems so that Finland and Sweden join the North Atlantic Alliance as soon as possible.
Rasmus Paludan, the leader of the Danish far-right party Hard Deal, who is responsible for burning the Koran outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm. He has threatened Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he will continue his actions until Sweden’s application to join NATO is approved.
