The US president, Joe Biden, has invited the Finnish and Swedish pioneers to the White House promising full help for their participation applications to what he called a "resuscitated Nato" directly following the Ukraine intrusion.
In their comments in the Rose Garden, the Finnish president, Sauli Niinistö, and the Swedish state head, Magdalena Andersson, addressed the main significant hindrance to their nations' promotion to the partnership: the complaints of the Turkish chief, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who rehashed on Thursday his determination to reject their enrollment. We will continue our policy in a determined way. We have told allies that we will say no to Finland and Sweden’s Nato membership,” Erdoğan told Turkish students in a video uploaded on his official Twitter account. All 30 alliance members have to approve the acceptance of a new ally.
Erdoğan accused Sweden and Finland of harbouring and financing the Kurdistan Workers party militant group and Syrian Kurdish YPG, who he deems to be “terrorists”.
In his Rose Garden comments, Niinistö addressed those accusations directly. "Finland has consistently had glad and great two-sided relations with Turkey. As Nato partners, we will focus on Turkey's security, similarly as Turkey will focus on our security," the Finnish president said. "We treat psychological warfare in a serious way. We denounce psychological warfare in the entirety of its structures and we are effectively taken part in battling it. We are available to examining every one of the worries Turkey might have concerning our participation in an open and useful way. These conversations have previously occurred and they will go on before very long."
He stressed the commitment that Finland would make to the coalition.
"Finland's military are one of the most grounded in Europe," Niinistö said. "We have likewise reliably put resources into creating capacities. The Finns' ability to safeguard the nation is one of the greatest in the entire world."
In her discourse, Andersson said that the Swedish government was "at this moment having an exchange with all Nato part nations, including Turkey, on various levels to figure out any main things".
She underlined the notable shift that Vladimir Putin's attack of Ukraine had achieved.
"Following 200 years of military non-arrangement, Sweden has picked another way," the Swedish state leader said. "Russia's full scale hostility against a sovereign and vote based neighbor was a turning point for Sweden. What's more, my administration has reached the resolution that the security of the Swedish public will be best safeguarded inside the Nato coalition. Furthermore, this is moved by exceptionally expansive help in the Swedish parliament."
Biden didn't allude to Turkish resistance in his perky discourse outside the White House, yet noticed that both applicant Nato individuals "meet each Nato prerequisite to say the least".
"Having two new Nato individuals in the high north will improve the security of our coalitions and develop our security participation no matter how you look at it," the US president said. "Today there is no doubt Nato is important, that it's compelling and that it's more required now than any other time in recent memory."
After the Rose Garden comments, the US public safety counselor, Jake Sullivan, told journalists: "When the president met ... the leader of Finland and the head of the state of Sweden, he demonstrated that they're both proposing to talk straightforwardly to President Erdoğan and their groups will connect straightforwardly with senior Turkish authorities."
