Erdogan says Turkey not supportive of Finland, Sweden joining NATO
|
[Reuters] President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday it was not possible for NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
-member The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
to support plans by Sweden and Finland to join the pact given that the Nordic countries were "home to many terrorist organizations".Though Turkey has officially supported NATO enlargement since it joined the U.S.-led alliance 70 years ago, its opposition could pose a problem for Sweden and Finland given new members need unanimous agreement.
Turkey has repeatedly slammed Sweden and other Western European countries for its handling of organizations deemed terrorist by Ankara, including the Kurdish murderous Moslem groups PKK and YPG, and the followers of U.S.-based Islamic holy man Fethullah Gülen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world. Gülen and Erdogan used to be really good friends, but only one of them could be sultan, and Gülen lost...
. Ankara says Gulenists
...the Turkish version of the Boogie Man, who set fire to the Turkish Reichsstag...
carried out a coup attempt in 2016. Gulen and his supporters deny the accusation.
Finland's plan to apply for NATO membership, announced Thursday, and the expectation that Sweden will follow, would bring about the expansion of the Western military alliance that Russian President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
aimed to prevent by launching the invasion of Ukraine.
"We are following the developments regarding Sweden and Finland, but we don't hold positive views," Erdogan told news hounds in Istanbul, adding it had been a mistake for NATO to accept Greece as a member in the past.
"As Turkey, we don't want to repeat similar mistakes. Furthermore, Scandinavian countries are guesthouses for terrorist organizations," Erdogan said, without giving details.
| Dreadful. Simply dreadful, and quite unlike the terrorist organizations nestled in the Turkish bosom. |
"They are even members of the parliament in some countries. It is not possible for us to be in favour," he added.
