NATO chief says progress made to address Türkiye's concerns as impasse continues over NATO enlargement with Ankara refusing to greenlight Sweden and Finland's accession to the military bloc
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has said he welcomes the steps taken to address Türkiye's concerns, including the fight against the PKK terror group.
But Türkiye, a longstanding member of the alliance, has voiced objections to their membership bids, criticising the countries for tolerating and even supporting terror groups, such as the PKK and Fetullah Terrorist Organization . "And when an important ally so Türkiye raises these concerns of course you have to sit down and do as we always do as NATO and there are differences, discuss, consult and then find a way for united forward."In late May, Türkiye hosted consultations with Swedish and Finnish delegations on their NATO applications in Ankara. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the meetings had not been "at the desired level.
The NATO chief also underlined that the allies will agree to "a major strengthening of our posture," which will require "more robust and combat-ready forward presence, even higher readiness, and more pre-positioned equipment and supplies."
