President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey has said his country still has concrete expectations from Sweden and Finland regarding its concerns about terrorist groups, as the two countries pledged to meet Turkey's demands to become NATO members.
Erdoğan said on Monday; "We’re waiting for responses to our extradition requests and the two countries should not expect Turkey to make compromises.
"The two countries should not expect Turkey to support their NATO accession unless they prevent terrorists from carrying out anti-Turkey activities."
Erdoğan also said Turkey is disturbed about Germany, France, Italy and others’ stance regarding his country's counterterrorism concerns.
He noted that Swedish and Finnish delegations had mentioned that other European countries have a similar stance.
