Turkey says Sweden was complicit in burning of Quran amid tension over NATO membership bid

Increased tensions between the two countries come at a time when Sweden is relying on Turkey to support its bid for membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation military alliance, of which Turkey is a member, in the light of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Çavuşoğlu advised Sweden to “demine” its path to NATO membership or risk ruining its chance by “stepping on those mines,” Anadolu reported. Earlier this week, Ankara called for a February meeting between Turkey, Sweden and Finland to be postponed, according to Turkish state broadcaster TRT Haber, which cited unnamed diplomatic sources. Finland is also applying to join NATO, along with its Nordic neighbor, after Moscow’s assault on Ukraine sparked renewed security concern across the region.

Being in a military alliance is not being in a Fun-Club. Security can't be a pretext for business interest or expansionism. Whoever is on wrong side in Ukraine affairs, will face the fall. Universe's own justice design shall step in. UN NATO USA Russia UK EU Sweden

It was Russia.

Turkey says it is 'meaningless' to restore NATO dialogue with Sweden, FinlandTurkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Thursday it was 'meaningless' to hold a trilateral meeting with Sweden and Finland to discuss their NATO bids after protests this month in Stockholm. Question for any arrogant European here . Do think your small village state field with gays is somehow useful for NATO better than Turkish military ? Do a quick research and then come make your smart comment Turkey's response to the Swedish state's blatant sponsorship of promoting hate towards muslims is perfectly justified. The Scandinavians really do have serious xenophobia issues. Who do they think they are, exactly? The Greater Germanic Reich? Clowns. The majority of citizens in NATO countries would be happy to swap a corrupt Turkey out for Sweden and Finland.
