Ankara’s security concerns to be addressed as part of memorandum for Nordic nations’ NATO bids: Swed


Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told the media Friday that Ankara’s security concerns will be addressed as part of a tripartite memorandum between Finland, Sweden and Türkiye for NATO membership of the Nordic nations.

Kristersson underlined that Türkiye's security concerns will be addressed as part of the memorandum between Finland, Sweden and Türkiye for NATO membership of the Nordic nations.

“To be honest, this is not a triple memorandum, rather it is an agreement that Finland and Sweden promised Türkiye on security,” Kristersson told the Dagens Nyheter newspaper, adding it would fulfill the commitments.

He noted that Sweden is in contact with Türkiye about the law, citing his country's new anti-terror law that is expected to take effect next spring.

“This is the fact that Sweden is involved in the fight against terrorism together with NATO,” he added.
