NATO leader and Turkish president discuss recent developments in Russia.
According to a statement from the Communications Directorate, the current developments in Russia and Sweden’s NATO membership were reviewed in a phone discussion on Sunday between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
The conclusion of hostilities in Russia “prevented the occurrence of irrevocable humanitarian tragedies in the Ukrainian field,” according to the statement brought up during the call.
Türkiye expects that recent Russian developments would be “a new milestone in the path to a just peace in Ukraine,” which was conveyed to Stoltenberg.
Additionally, it was said that “Türkiye maintains its constructive stance regarding Sweden’s membership but that legislative amendments would be meaningless so long as PKK/PYD/YPG supporters organize demonstrations freely in this country.”
Additionally, it was stressed that “the injustices experienced in the F-35 context and the attempts to associate Türkiye’s requests about the F-16s with Sweden’s membership would harm NATO and its security rather than Türkiye.”
The paramilitary Wagner group crossed the border from Ukraine into the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don on Friday, accusing Russian forces of targeting its fighters. As a result, Wagner was the subject of a criminal investigation by the Russian Federal Security Service for “armed rebellion.” Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, referred to Wagner’s insurrection as “treason.”
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner, later claimed that his troops turned back to avoid bloodshed when they were 200 kilometers (124 miles) from Moscow. Still, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claimed that he spoke with Prigozhin with Putin’s consent and that Prigozhin agreed to a de-escalation agreement. In recent months, Prigozhin has accused the Russian Defence Ministry and Defence Minister Sergey Shoygu of failing to provide the paramilitary force with enough weapons.
The PKK, designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU, has killed over 40,000 people over its more than 35-year terror campaign against that country, including women, children, and babies.
According to Turkish officials, before Sweden can join the alliance, it must demonstrate that actions have been taken to change the fact that PKK members were allowed and even encouraged on Swedish soil.
