Turkey, a longtime NATO member, has objected to Finland and Sweden’s candidacies for membership, criticizing the two countries for tolerating and even supporting terrorist groups, including the YPG / PKK.

In the last five years, both Helsinki and Stockholm have refused to accept Ankara’s demands for the extradition of dozens of terrorists, including members of the PKK and FETO, the terrorist group behind the 2016 coup attempt in Turkey .

The high representatives of Finland and Sweden are scheduled to visit Turkey in the coming days to hold official talks in Ankara on the issue of the process of their joining NATO.

For more than 35 years, the PKK, which has been declared a terrorist organization in Turkey, the United States and the European Union, has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women, children and the elderly. The YPG is the Syrian branch of the PKK.
