Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip<\/p>\n

Erdogan signalled on Saturday that no progress had been made in Sweden’s bid to<\/p>\n

join NATO, urging Stockholm to take “concrete actions” to meet Ankara’s<\/p>\n

concerns, his office said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In a phone call with Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, Erdogan<\/p>\n

reiterated that “Sweden should take steps regarding such fundamental matters as<\/p>\n

combatting terrorism”, the Turkish presidency said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Turkey “wanted to see binding commitments on these issues together with<\/p>\n

concrete and clear action,” he added.<\/p>\n

Finland and Sweden discussed their stalled NATO bids with Turkey in<\/p>\n

Brussels on Monday, but Ankara dashed hopes that their dispute will be resolved<\/p>\n

before an alliance summit next week.<\/p>\n

Turkish officials said Ankara does not view the summit as a final deadline<\/p>\n

for resolving Ankara’s objections.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Andersson, who became prime minister late last year, said the conversation<\/p>\n

with Erdogan went well.<\/p>\n

She tweeted that they had “agreed on the importance of making progress<\/p>\n

ahead of the NATO summit in Madrid next week, where I look forward to meeting<\/p>\n

President Erdogan and other allied leaders”.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ankara has accused Finland and in particular Sweden of providing a safe<\/p>\n

haven for outlawed Kurdish militants whose decades-long insurgency against the<\/p>\n

Turkish state has claimed tens of thousands of lives.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Erdogan told Andersson that Sweden “should make concrete changes in its<\/p>\n

attitude” toward the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and its Syrian<\/p>\n

affiliates, the presidency said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “In this regard no tangible action aimed at addressing Turkey’s concerns<\/p>\n

was seen to have been taken by Sweden,” it added.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Turkish leader also voiced expectations that Sweden would lift an arms<\/p>\n

embargo against Turkey that Stockholm imposed in 2019 over Ankara’s military<\/p>\n

offensive in Syria.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He also said he hopes that restrictions on Turkey’s defence industry would<\/p>\n

be lifted, and that Sweden will extradite several people Ankara has accused of<\/p>\n

involvement in terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The phone call comes after Erdogan discussed the two countries’ bid with<\/p>\n

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Erdogan also told Stoltenberg that “Sweden and Finland should take concrete<\/p>\n

and sincere steps” against outlawed Kurdish militants, the presidency said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stoltenberg said he had a “good call” with “our valued ally” Erdogan.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “We agreed to continue the talks in Brussels and Madrid next week,” he<\/p>\n

tweeted.<\/p>\n
