Turkey has told allies it’s a ‘no’ to Sweden and Finland’s NATO bid: Erdogan

Turkey has told abettors that it’ll reject Sweden and Finland’s class to NATO, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in a videotape posted on his Twitter account on Thursday.

Finland and Sweden formally applied on Wednesday to join US- led NATO, a decision prodded by Russia’s irruption of Ukraine. Turkey’s expostulations have come as a surprise to the other members of the alliance.

“We’ll continue our policy in a determined way. We’ve told abettors that we will say no to Finland and Sweden’s NATO class,”Erdogan said in an interview with scholars late on Wednesday.

“NATO is a security alliance and we can not accept terrorists to be in it,”Erdogan also said.
