Turkiye says Sweden's promises 'not enough until implemented'

Turkiye isn't satisfied with promises made by Sweden to crack down on Kurdish separatists and is unlikely to lift its objections to the nation's NATO membership bid unless it takes more definitive steps, Turkiye's ruling AK Party spokesman Omer Celik said, Report informs, citing Al Arabiya.

"These statements of Sweden are good, but not enough until they are implemented," Celik said. "We are waiting for it to come to life."

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has demanded that Sweden and Finland - both of which sought NATO membership after Russia's invasion of Ukraine - extradite terrorists.
