YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan linked Sweden’s NATO membership bid to Ankara’s efforts to join the European Union, throwing a wrench into the process hours before a summit where the Nordic nation had hoped to finalize its accession.
For more than a year, Turkey has held up Sweden’s application to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization over concerns that it has been too lax on combating terrorism.
“First come and open the way for Turkey in the EU; after that we’ll open the way for Sweden just like we did for Finland,” Erdogan told a press conference in Istanbul before leaving for Vilnius on Monday. He criticized what he called “countries keeping Turkey waiting at the EU’s door for almost 50 years.”
