- If the situation requires, we can give another message regarding Finland.

And when Finland gets that news, it will shock Sweden.

But then Finland must not make the same mistake, said Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday.

Both Magnus Christiansson, lecturer in military science at the Norwegian Defense Academy, and Bitte Hammargren, Middle East and Turkey analyst, were on SVT's Agenda during the evening and commented on the current situation.

- I think it is a bit early to draw any definitive conclusions.

I interpret this as Erdogan in an increasingly heated election campaign.

It is a pressured Erdogan who, by doing this, presents it to the Turkish people as if he is the one who decides the NATO expansion process, so I interpret it as very domestically emphasized, says Magnus Christiansson.

Finland "stays the course"

In Finland, the message that Natoresan is a common cause has instead been reinforced.

According to the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, Finnish President Sauli Niinistö's office has contacted the Turkish president and clarified that it still intends to join NATO together with Sweden.

- We are staying the course, says Sauli Niinistö according to the newspaper.

Summit in Vilnius

Bitte Hammargren notes in SVT's Agenda that the relationship between Sweden and Turkey has deteriorated and is now at an increasingly chilly stage.

- I would say that it is at the bottom of the coldest part of the refrigerator, but not in the freezer, because Erdogan does not close the door completely.

As long as he runs an election campaign, everything is above this, that he should survive politically, that he should pass the election, she says in Agenda.

- But after the election, if he manages to stick around, then there may be a different tone.
