“As long as Sweden and Finland continue to support terrorist organizations, they should not expect a positive attitude from us towards their membership in NATO.

Let no one expect concessions from us on this issue, ”TASS quoted Erdogan as saying.

He recalled that this is "not as simple a matter" as it seems, "if they think that they will immediately be taken into NATO."

“The memorandum signed in Madrid is only an invitation, and we told all our colleagues about this,” the head of state added.

On June 28, Ankara reported that Sweden and Finland agreed to full cooperation with Turkey in the fight against the Kurdistan Workers' Party and the organization of the Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen (FETO).

At the same time, the Turkish president admitted the possibility of freezing the process of countries' accession to NATO if they do not fulfill a number of Turkish conditions.
