The Koran-burning by a Danish far-right politician in Stockholm led to demonstrations across the Muslim world. Then Turkey’s president suspended his talks on NATO accession with both countries
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskIt has been more than nine months since Finland and Sweden decided to give up their long-standing non-aligned status and join, after Russia invaded Ukraine. Their accession has been ratified by 28 of the alliance’s 30 members. Hungary says it will ratify it soon.
“We have fulfilled the memorandum, and it is time for Turkey to act,” Tobias Billstrom, Sweden’s foreign minister, told. Sweden and Finland have both lifted arms embargoes they imposed on Turkey after it invaded Syria in 2019. In March Sweden will introduce legislation criminalising membership of terrorist groups, including the, a step which required it to change its constitution.
Turkey’s stance is partly campaign politics. Mr Erdogan faces a tough election in the spring or early summer, and has been whipping up nationalist resentment over Sweden’s alleged pro-Kurdish, anti-Muslim offences. He demands that Sweden “return these terrorists to us” and that it prevent any further Koran-burning before he will approve itsmembership. Mevlut Cavusoglu, his foreign minister, accuses Sweden of “taking part in the crime” of burning the Koran.
