“You know that terrorism is our red line. So far, we see negative steps against Turkey in the fight against terrorism. We are ready to accept any attitude, wherever it comes from. The Swedish Prime Minister may be a good person, but we cannot say ‘yes’ to Sweden’s NATO membership if it is not with us in the fight against terrorism”, Erdogan said during a press conference with his Finnish counterpart.
“We don’t have a special relationship with Sweden, but Stockholm has opened its arms to terrorists. In the streets of Stockholm, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (recognized as a terrorist in Turkey – editor’s note) and others are demonstrating. We gave Sweden a list of about 120 terrorists and said – extradite The Swedish prime minister is a good person, but the terrorists were not handed over to us,” the Turkish president added.
