Erdogan: “No to Finland and Sweden in NATO”

Turkey, a NATO country, “is not in favor” of Finland and Sweden in the Alliance, while the two countries appear ever closer to joining. This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “We are closely following the developments regarding Sweden and Finland, but we do not have a favorable opinion,” Erdogan said in statements reported by Hurriyet. “We don’t have a positive opinion,” he insisted, speaking to reporters after Friday prayers in Istanbul. “The Scandinavian countries – he added, according to the Daily Sabah – are like a guest house for terrorist organizations”.
