We will not close the NATO door to Sweden says

However, Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu also says that Turkey “cannot reward those who do not keep their promises”.

Turkey does not close the NATO door to Sweden, but in order for the negotiations to continue, Sweden must meet Turkey’s demands.

This is what the Turkish Foreign Minister said Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu in Alanya, Turkey on Saturday.

– We cannot reward those who do not keep their promises. We negotiate with all those who keep their word. If we promise something, we always keep it, Çavuşoğlu told Turkish media Hürriyet (you switch to another service) by.

Turkey has previously demanded Sweden and Finland, among other things, to extradite persons whom Turkey considers to be terrorists. However, anonymous sources previously told Bloomberg that Turkey thinks Finland has done enough to solve the problems.

President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said a week ago that Turkey could accept Finland as a member of NATO before Sweden, if “Finland does not make the same mistake”.

Among other things, the news covered the matter Aftonbladet (you switch to another service).
