Back to the drawing board ? bloomberg.com Turkey Dashes Hopes of NATO Membership of Sweden, Finland Selcan Hacaoglu May 13, 2022, 7:50 PM GMT+8 Sign up for our Middle East newsletter and follow us @middleeast for news on the region. Turkey doesn’t favor Sweden and Finland joining NATO, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in Istanbul on Friday, dashing the two countries’ hopes of easy accession to the military alliance. Erdogan cited concerns over the presence of “terrorists” in both countries. Turkey has previously complained that supporters of separatist Kurdish militants fighting for autonomy in Turkey’s southeast have been freely roaming in Europe. Any enlargement of NATO requires unanimous approval of the alliance’s members. Turkey’s been a NATO member since 1952. “We are following developments regarding Sweden and Finland, but we are not in a positive mindset,” Erdogan said in televised remarks after Friday prayers in Istanbul. “Scandinavian countries are like guest houses of terrorist organizations. They even take part in their parliaments. At this point, it is not possible for us to look at it positively.” Some alleged supporters of Fethullah Gulen, the U.S.-based cleric who Erdogan says masterminded a 2016 coup attempt in Turkey, have also fled to Europe including some Scandinavian countries. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has repeatedly said he expects all allies to welcome the countries’ prospective membership and that the accession process would be swift. Spokespeople for the alliance didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The Finnish Foreign Ministry had no immediate comment. Despite their orientation toward the US and western Europe, Finland and Sweden had bet since the Cold War that their national security was best protected by staying out of NATO. They aimed to avoid disturbing the military balance in the Baltic Sea region and provoking Russia. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sparked a rethinking in both countries. Turkey has sought a middle ground over the war in Ukraine. The government in Ankara has been reluctant to burn its bridges with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in part fearing a rupture would put Turkish forces deployed in Syria at risk of attack by Russian-backed Syrian government troops. But it has supplied Kyiv with lethal Turkish-made drones and shut its straits and air space to Russian military ships and aircraft. — With assistance by Firat Kozok Sent from my iPad
