According to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, Sweden has not yet extradited suspects sought by Turkey on terrorism-related offenses.
According to official broadcaster TRT World, Cavusoglu stated that “they must carry out their commitments, or we would prevent their NATO ambitions.”
“Terror propaganda in Sweden and Finland continues,” asserted Cavusoglu.
In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Sweden and Finland asked to join NATO. However, Turkey objected, claiming that the Scandinavian nations were funding “terrorists.” Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey has charged them with providing a safe haven for extremist Kurds.
After the Nordic countries promised to “handle Turkey’s pending deportation or extradition requests of terror suspects swiftly,” Ankara withdrew its concerns in June.
Cavusolgu stated on Wednesday that his government is presently processing the contract.
“If all conditions are met, it will be delivered to the president, who will then deliver it to Parliament. Parliament will undoubtedly make a decision, but it cannot be sent at this time “According to the pro-government newspaper Daily Sabbah, he said.
