Erdogan went against Finland's NATO membership HINA What he spoke to President Niinsto today

Finland's President Saul Niinsto said there has been an open and direct “call with Turkey's president, Recep Tayip Erdogan.

In turn was Finland's application for NATO membership.

Erdogan has opposed this, saying earlier this month that Finland and Sweden (which is also applying) have supported Kurdish militants and other groups Turkey considers terrorists.

I declared that as NATO allies Finland and Turkey will engage in each other's security and our relationship will become stronger. Finland condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Close dialogue continues”, Niinsto wrote on Twitter.
