Ankara says Finland's NATO bid is "less problematic" than Sweden's after Turkey accused the government in Stockholm of enabling groups it deems as terror organisations. But Finland's FM says it is important for both countries to join the alliance at the same time.
The hold-up follows Ankara announcing it would not back Sweden's NATO bid following an anti-Turkey protest in Stockholm. Finland, it seems, is reassessing its options but still insist joining with Sweden is the number one option.
For more on Turkey's latest fiery objection over Sweden joining NATO, FRANCE 24 is joined by Stig-Björn Ljunggren, Swedish Political Scientist and Political Editor-in-Chief at the Social Democratic newspaper Sydöstran.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told Sweden not to expect his backing for its bid to join NATO after Swedish police allowed a Quran to be burned by a protestor outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm.
