Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on Sweden an | Sokrates XVII

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on Sweden and Finland to stop supporting terror groups fighting Ankara before he'll support their membership of the military alliance. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday told the leaders of Sweden and Finland that he would block their bid to join NATO unless they halt what he considers their support for "terrorist" groups threatening Turkey's national security.

Erdogan's office said the Turkish president had shared his concerns in a call with both Swedish and Finnish leaders about the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militant group -- which Ankara has been fighting since the 1980s -- and the Gulen movement -- which Ankara accuses of orchestrating a 2016 coup attempt.

Turkey has designated them as terrorist organizations and accused the Nordic countries of harboring people linked to both groups.
