SVT's Turkey correspondent Tomas Thorén is present and reports. He believes that the case of the man who was brought from Skåne has stirred up a lot of emotions in Turkey.
- First, there are those who support Erdogan who believe that this is proof of how much Turkey cares about its citizens. But there are also those who are critical and wonder why they put so much resources into this specific case, says Tomas Thorén.
Thorén also says that the case of the man from Skåne has an important PR value for Turkey.
- Like many other countries, Turkey has a problem with uncontrolled spread of infection. This means that a history of this kind has an important publicity value when it shows that you are acting to protect your population, says Tomas Thorén.
