The call addressed the Türkiye-UK relations, Sweden’s and Finland’s NATO membership applications, and regional developments including the Ukraine-Russia war. President Erdoğan stated that the main problem was caused by Sweden’s and Finland’s ties with individuals and so-called organizations controlled by the PKK/YPG terrorist organization.
President Erdoğan noted that Türkiye wanted to be sure that Finland and Sweden would adhere to NATO’s values and would properly observe Türkiye’s legitimate concerns.
President Erdoğan stressed that the Turkish public opinion’s rightful objection to the NATO membership of countries supporting terrorism should not be overlooked.
