Turkey's fever of consultations with other NATO member states continues, in order to overcome Ankara's resistance[/B] to Sweden and Finland joining the alliance.
In this context, after Friday prayers, Tayyip Erdogan announced that today he had communication with the government of the Netherlands,[/B] and tomorrow he will contact the leaders of England and Finland for the same purpose. "I had a wide-ranging meeting today with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Tomorrow we will have talks with England and Finland. Likewise, we will also have contact with Stoltenberg, Of course, we will continue to have these talks so as not to interrupt the telephone diplomacy between us," the Turkish president said, making it clear that he has informed the parties involved of his country's negative stance.
Regarding the activities of terrorist organizations in EU and NATO countries, Erdogan said: "They hold all kinds of marches, especially in Germany, Sweden, Finland."
"What we say clearly and unequivocally is this: First, since we have all the documents and information of these terrorist organizations and we are their victims, if we know NATO's sensitivities towards terrorism, if we know that NATO is a security organization, then we cannot say yes to the admission of such a terrorist organization to NATO, which is a security organization. That is what I believe about Sweden and Finland. Never mind that most EU member countries accept these terrorist organisations, make speeches in their parliaments, give them space and supply them with weapons and ammunition. We see them, we know them. Sorry, but we cannot say yes to the entry of these terrorist organizations into NATO," he said, repeating the same positions he has been expressing for a few days about Sweden and Finland.
