NATO aims to make progress on Finland, Sweden's membership bids

Brussels (The Times Groupe)- NATO’s chief on Monday said he hoped to “make progress” on Finland and Sweden’s membership bids.

“We also aim to make progress on Finland and Sweden’s historic applications for NATO membership, while ensuring the security concerns of all allies are addressed. I spoke with (Turkish) President (Recep Tayyip) Erdogan on Saturday, and I will meet with the (Swedish) Prime Minister (Magdalena) Andersson later today,” Jens Stoltenberg told a pre-summit press conference in Brussels.

Stoltenberg said NATO should “take into account the concerns expressed by allies, such as Turkey in this case. And that’s why we have intensified the dialogue with our ally, Finland, Sweden over the last weeks.”

The NATO secretary-general announced that Finnish and Swedish leaders will meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Madrid on Tuesday. A meeting of senior officials from all three countries will precede the four-way meeting at NATO headquarters on Monday, which will also include Stoltenberg.

“Our NATO summit in Madrid will be transformative with many important decisions, including on the new strategic concept for a new security reality,” he said.

According to Stoltenberg, NATO will “transform the NATO Response Force and increase the number of our high-readiness forces to more than 300,000.”

NATO leaders will meet in Madrid to discuss the largest military deployment since the end of the Cold War.

Talks will focus on NATO’s response to the war in Ukraine, as well as Finnish and Swedish petitions to join the 30-member alliance.

In response to Russia’s war on Ukraine, which began on Feb. 24, Sweden and Finland formally applied to join NATO last month.

The Turkish government, a long-time member of the alliance, has expressed concerns about the membership bids, criticizing the countries for tolerating and even supporting terrorist groups.

During its 35-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US and the EU – has killed over 40,000 people.

On June 29, while the North Atlantic Treaty Organization met in Madrid, a “No to NATO” demonstration gathered and rallied in Detroit at the busy Nine Mile and Woodward intersection. 

The Michigan Peace Council initiative called on anti-imperialists to grow the movement against the provocative expansion of NATO and U.S. weapons deluge to fuel the anti-Russia war in Ukraine.

Turkey's Erdogan, NATO chief discuss alliance bids of Sweden, Finland

Turkey's Erdogan, NATO chief discuss alliance bids of Sweden, Finland

Ankara (The Times Groupe)- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke on the phone with NATO chief yesterday and reiterated Ankara’s concerns about Finland and Sweden joining NATO.

Turkish government spokesperson stated that Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Jens Stoltenberg that no progress could be achieved without “concrete steps” by both Finland and Sweden that would satisfy Turkey’s expectations.”

Steps could include written commitments to a paradigm shift in fighting terrorism and cooperation with the defense industry, the report says.

Stoltenberg said on Twitter that he had a constructive conversation with Erdogan ahead of the NATO summit in Madrid on June 29-30.

“We discussed the importance of addressing Turkey’s legitimate security concerns on the fight against terrorism and making progress in the NATO accession process for Finland and Sweden,” he added.

On May 18, Sweden and Finland formally applied to join NATO, spurred by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Turkey, a longstanding member of NATO, has expressed opposition to these countries’ membership bids, accusing them of tolerating and even supporting terror groups such as the PKK and the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO). Their accession requires the unanimous approval of all 30 NATO member states.

Turkey conducted consultations with the Swedish and Finnish delegations on their NATO applications in Ankara in late May. Erdogan said the talks had not been “at the desired level.”

U.S. President Joe Biden and other heads of state of the NATO war alliance are preparing to meet in Madrid, Spain, from June 28-30 to plan the next phase of their proxy war against the Donbass republics and the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, their Ukrainian agents are raining terror daily on civilians in towns and villages in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR).

The Ukrainian regime is on a rampage, especially attacking civilians in Donetsk, capital of the DPR. Residential areas of the city that have been untouched since the worst days of 2014-2015 are now being targeted daily by NATO-supplied weapons. People in the city report a desperate situation.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompted Sweden and Finland to abandon their long-held nonaligned status and apply to join NATO. But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had blocked the move, insisting the Nordic pair change their stance on Kurdish rebel groups that Turkey considers terrorists.
