Finland backs Ankara and does not want to be grouped with Sweden:
Why Turkey’s Hit On Kurdish Militants In Syria & Iraq May Impact Finland & Sweden’s NATO BidsTurkey carried out air strikes on Kurdish militant bases in northern Iraq and Syria. Ankara says the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia were using the bases to launch attacks on Turkey. The air strikes are reportedly a retaliation to the November 13 explosion in Istanbul, that killed 6 people and injured over 80. The recent escalation of tensions is expected to have consequences for Finland and Sweden’s NATO aspirations. Will Turkish strikes on PKK impact Nordic nations’ NATO entry?
