Sweden and Finland are sending delegations to Ankara this Wednesday to talk to the Turkish government about its objections to the two countries joining NATO.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry announced this on Tuesday, and Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto also made similar comments at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
It is understood that Turkey has security concerns with regard to terrorism.
We believe we can solve these problems, he said.
But there could also be problems that are not directly related to Finland and Sweden, but to other NATO members.
Government talks had already taken place over the weekend.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Sweden and Finland decided to abandon their long tradition of military non-alignment and applied for NATO membership.
However, Turkish President Erdogan had vetoed it, threatening to block the two countries' admission.
Among other things, he had criticized the refusal of the two countries to extradite Turkish citizens and accused Sweden, among other things, of supporting "terrorist groups".
On Tuesday, the Turkish government published a list of demands made on Sweden for its approval of NATO membership.
In line with the principle of the alliance's collective security, concrete assurances are expected from Sweden.
Since 2017, the extradition of "PKK/PYD terrorists" has been demanded, but no positive answer has yet been received.
Sweden should also lift its arms embargo against Turkey.
