Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg discussed today the consequences of Saturday's mutiny of the "Wagner" private army in Russia and the possibilities for Sweden's admission to NATO.
Erdogan's cabinet announced that in a telephone conversation they emphasized that the "break in tensions" in Russia on Saturday "prevented the occurrence of irrevocable humanitarian tragedies."
Erdogan told Stoltenberg that Turkey hopes that the "recent events" in Russia will be "a new turning point on the path to a just peace in Ukraine," the Anadolu Agency reported.
It stated that Turkey "does not change its position regarding the admission of Sweden to NATO" - which it does not agree with, as supporters of Kurdish political organizations continue to "freely organize demonstrations" in Sweden.
Erdogan also complained about the "injustice" of the US, which refuses to deliver the most modern F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, which it "tries to connect" with the issue of Sweden's admission. Turkey believes that it "harms NATO more than it".
