In recent days, there has been another storm around Turkish President Erdogan, after the political regime threatened to ban the country's third largest party, the pro - Kurdish HDP.
Just days later, the country chose to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention against Violence against Women, which further diluted dissatisfaction in the country.
Ann Linde (S) expresses disappointment with the development, as she has recently said that she has seen some positive steps from Turkey in terms of how they act in the eastern Mediterranean.
Turkey was one of several topics discussed at the EU Foreign Ministers' meeting on Monday, and according to Linde, she was not alone in her criticism of Erdogan.
- There were many foreign ministers who expressed great disappointment over this, she says.
