Exactly what Sweden has agreed to was never revealed during the press conference, but Michael Sahlin, former Turkey ambassador and diplomat, tells Swedish Radio Ekot that it is probably a sharpened Swedish attitude towards terrorism in general.
- The legislation that Stoltenberg was supposed to refer to, I would think, is the terror law that is more general and is not about the PKK alone.
It is likely that if it is to enter into force on 1 July, it will be emphasized as a gesture also against Turkey.
Sahlin says that for Stoltenberg it is about trying to maintain momentum during the summit in Madrid.
"Crystal clear" view of the PKK
On Monday, Magdalena Andersson said that Sweden condemns terrorists in the strongest possible terms.
- As a member, we will be fully involved in NATO's counter-terrorism and take an active part in those efforts.
Our view of the PKK is crystal clear: it is listed as a terrorist organization in the EU and is considered as such by Sweden, she says, among other things.
With regard to deportations, she refers to the fact that it is handled "quickly and carefully" by the judiciary.
- In accordance with European conventions on extradition, Andersson said.
It is about projections on buildings in Stockholm
According to a government official, the investigations against the PKK are about an incident earlier in June when the PKK's flag and a portrait of its founders were projected on Stockholm City Hall and the Globe.
Foreign Minister Ann Linde called the action a "malicious campaign of influence".
On Tuesday, Minister of Defense Peter Hultqvist did not want to comment on Jens Stoltenberg's statement.
