Ninisto: Finland will respond to Turkey’s concerns

Finland will meet Turkey’s demands in response to Finland and Sweden’s plans to join NATO, Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said on Thursday, following a meeting with US President Joe Baido. in the White House.

“We have reason to properly address the concerns expressed by Turkey and then give clear answers,” Niinisto told reporters, adding that he believed the issue would be discussed at a “high level”.

He also described as “very convincing an expression of support” US President Joe Biden’s assurances that the two Nordic countries would be attacked in the run-up to their accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He added that, like Sweden, he appreciates the ability of the United States to respond in the event of such a need.

The Finnish president stressed that “flexibility” is needed in terms of exercises with NATO and the transfer of military equipment. No one should be allowed to overreact, he said, photographing Russia.

Niinisto said that at this stage there is not much hope for peace in Ukraine, citing, among other things, the recent communication he had with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
