Turkey’s blocking of Sweden and Finland’s NATO bids may not be resolved in time for the Alliance’s summit scheduled for later this month, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg admitted on Sunday.
Stoltenberg said NATO was “working hard” to resolve the “legitimate” issues posed by Turkey.
The NATO secretary-general had in the past insisted that both countries be accepted “with open arms”, but Turkey blocked their candidacies.
Ankara accuses them of offering refuge to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), an organization that Turkey and its Western allies describe as “terrorist”.
“I would like this issue to be resolved as soon as possible,” Stoltenberg told a joint news conference with his Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto.
