, has sworn to block the Nordic countries’ bid, accusing them of harbouring terrorists. “While terrorist organisations are roaming the streets of Sweden and Finland, will we open our doors to them?” he asked, rhetorically.officials are still hopeful that this week’s summit will produce an agreement that will allow accession talks to begin. Who are the alleged terrorists that Mr Erdogan is referring to?, has been a thorn in Turkey’s side since 1984, when the group launched an insurgency.
The war has raged mostly in south-east Turkey, where a majority of people are Kurds, and in the mountains of northern Iraq. Recently it has spilled into Syria. The’s local offshoot, known as the People’s Defence Units, became the ground force in America’s war against Islamic State in 2015, and eventually brought down the self-described caliphate. The Kurds ended up in control of long swathes of Syrian land on the border with Turkey.
Well over 1m Kurds, many of them refugees, have settled in European countries other than Turkey. Finland is home to up to 18,000; as many as 100,000 live in Sweden. European countries have also become magnets forloyalists, and are a focus of the group’s fundraising and recruitment efforts.
The row is fundamentally one over the meaning of terrorism. Kurdish politicians and activists in Turkey are routinely thrown into jail alongside militants. On June 16th 16 Kurdish journalists were arrested in Diyarbakir, a city in south-eastern Turkey, on vague terror charges. The list of people that Turkey wants extradited from Sweden includes writers and publishers. One of them has been dead for years.

Turkiye stupid Economist
Yes, that’s pretty right, especially sweden obviously supporting terrorism, protecting terrorists and sending wepons to YPG.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people including women, children, and infants!
Let's make things simpler, expell Turkey, and yes like the bird, from NATO (and accept them back when democracy and the rule of law are back there), and help the Kurds.
