NATO chief Stoltenberg calls on Sweden and Finland to advance their counterterrorism cooperation with Türkiye as the Nordic countries aim to become members of the military pact

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg holds a news conference at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels, Belgium November 16, 2022.

On why Türkiye has yet to join 28 fellow allies in ratifying Sweden and Finland's application to join NATO, Stoltenberg noted that Ankara's terrorism-related concerns were due to it having suffered more terror attacks than any other country in the alliance. A trilateral memorandum at the NATO summit signed among the countries in June stipulates that Finland and Sweden will not provide support to the YPG/PYD, the PKK's Syrian offshoot, or to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization — the group behind the 2016 defeated coup in Türkiye.

On these efforts, the NATO chief emphasized Türkiye's right to defend itself against such terrorist organisations.
