Finland, Sweden and Turkey will meet this Friday to discuss NATO enlargement

COPENHAGEN, 24 Aug. (DPA/EP) -

The governments of Finland, Sweden and Turkey will hold a meeting this Friday with which they hope to iron out rough edges and advance in the next entry of the Nordic countries into NATO, in the air due to the misgivings that the Turkish authorities still maintain.

The Swedish Foreign Minister, Ann Linde, has confirmed in statements to the SVT network that the meeting will serve as a follow-up to the agreement signed on the margins of the NATO leaders' summit held in Madrid at the end of June.

By virtue of this pact, Ankara undertook to lift its veto as long as Helsinki and Stockholm agreed to be more collaborative in the fight against terrorism, in particular in the persecution of Kurdish groups.

The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has slipped on several occasions that the June pact is not final and, in fact, has suggested that if the Swedish and Finnish governments do not comply, Turkey will not complete the ratification process that opens the doors of NATO.
