"If I want to turn 'Svenska Nyheter' into Kurdish news, I will do it," said host Kristoffer Appelqvist before handing over the satirical program to the Swedish-Kurdish comedian Kadir Meral.
For almost ten minutes, the comedian joked, among other things, that President Erdogan is responsible for the bubbles on the surface of the explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline after eating too much shish kebab.
The feature aroused strong reactions in Turkey, where the pro-regime newspaper Sabah, among other things, called the feature a "shame for Swedish television".

Here he says that he likes comedy and satire - when it's done well.
Why was a Swedish ambassador summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
