Sweden and Finland’s contacts with individuals and institutions affiliated with the PKK/YPG terror group contradict the NATO alliance spirit, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron over the phone, the directorate said in a statement.

Topics on the agenda

Regional developments, including the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, were also discussed during the phone call, it added.

Erdoğan emphasized that Turkey wants peace and said that Ankara would continue to encourage dialogue and diplomacy between the warring countries, the statement noted.

Sweden and Finland formally applied to join NATO last week – a decision spurred by Russia’s war on Ukraine, which began on Feb. 24.

Ankara voiced objections

But Turkey, a longstanding member of the alliance, voiced objections to their membership bids, criticizing the Baltic states for tolerating and even supporting terrorist groups.

On Thursday, presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin stated that Turkey has made clear to Sweden and Finland during a meeting in the capital Ankara that their NATO bids cannot progress unless Ankara’s security concerns are addressed through concrete steps within a certain timeframe.
