Altun added: “Sweden needs to keep the promises, which it made in Madrid, to join NATO – of which Turkey has been a member for 70 years. It would be futile to expect Turkey to make any concessions in that regard”, as reported by gerceknews.com. “We condemn in the strongest possible terms the targeting of Turkey and its democratically elected president by members of the terrorist organization PKK in Sweden. We urge the Swedish authorities to take necessary steps against terrorist groups without further delay”, he concluded.

Portraying a popularly elected president as being executed outside City Hall is abhorrent”. The Turkish Foreign Ministry subsequently summoned Staffan Herrstrom, Sweden’s ambassador to Ankara. Officials reportedly conveyed their opinions in the strongest manner and reiterated the request for Sweden to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of this event, as reported by aa.com. In return, Herrstrom underlined that every effort would be made to bring those involved to justice. He also assured that Sweden would fulfil its commitments to the tripartite agreement. ___________________________________________________________ Thank you for taking the time to read this article.
