Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he will speak to Finland tomorrow, while maintaining his opposition to Finnish and Swedish Nato membership bids over their history of hosting members of groups Ankara deems terrorists.
Erdogan said he had discussed the issue with the Dutch prime minister today and would also speak to Britain on Saturday. He did not specify the people he would speak to in Finland and Britain. Ankara says Sweden and Finland harbour people linked to the Kurdistan Workers Party militant group and followers of Fethullah Gulen, whom Ankara accuses of orchestrating a 2016 coup attempt.
Erdogan today criticised the West for not viewing the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia as a terrorist group while viewing the PKK as such. Turkey views both groups as identical.
