at the Western alliance’s summit in July unless it prevents anti-Turkey protests in Stockholm, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was quoted as saying on Wednesday.
Sweden’s chief negotiator Oscar Stenstrom said the talks with Turkish officials had been good and that discussions aimed at overcoming Ankara’s objections would continue, though no fresh date was yet set. In March, Turkey ratified Finland’s bid for membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation , following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but still objects to Sweden joining the alliance, as does Hungary.
Commenting on Sweden’s recent legal changes, Mr Erdogan said: “This is not only a matter of a law amendment or a constitutional change. What is the job of the police there? They have legal and constitutional rights, they should exercise their rights. The police should prevent these .”
