@kızgın tosbağa Well it would not be the first time Turkey broke one of their deals and asked for more so I would not be surprised.

Hm? They lifted the arms embargo refused all other demands and said they promise they will take Turkey's concerns seriously that was it lol. If this was about terrorism they did not get anything, all they got was weapons.

@theancientsancients1769 I am pretty sure the US foreign department was playing a big role in the talks behind the scenes.

@ybggorot1912 Yes, for a lot of Eastern European nations NATO is the only thing that stands between them and Russian occupation. Especially Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia would probably not exist today if they did not join NATO.

@berkekadircelik6282 You are right it's mostly behind the curtains, Sweden and Finland did not give much, just weapons and a promise that does not really contain any specific actions. More than likely Sweden and Finland was not the real target and Erdogan made a deal with someone else to allow them in. My guess he made a deal with the US and it will be interesting to see if Turkey will be allowed to buy those US fighter Jets before the end of the year.

@owindustry Sweden and Finland gave Turkey weapons, the arms embargo is no more and a promise to take Turkey's concerns "seriously". All other demands was refused. YPG will not be a designated terrorist organization, that's a EU matter. Erdogan's Terrorist list of individuals that he wants extradited won't be extradited. Turkey got Weapons and a promise with no specific action tied to it. So yes it would seem it was a waste of time as Turkey did not get much, more than likely Turkey made a secret deal with the US or another NATO member to let them in though. Perhaps they will be able to buy jet fighters from the US soon.

@Cartoonwatch11 No, he did not say that. All the individuals on the extradition list that filled the legal requirements for extradition to Turkey has already been extradited long time ago. The ones left on Turkey's list of 33? Individuals have not been proved to be criminals or involved in terrorist activities. Those are the people he said he hoped was not promised to be extradited. IF Turkey can provide evidence so it can be proved in a Swedish or Finish court that these individuals are indeed terrorists then yes they will be extradited. So far most of Turkey's list is just Erdogan saying: "trust me br0" which is enough in Turkey but obviously Sweden and Finland needs proof and evidence before going through with extraditions. There are laws and regulations for extraditions for both Sweden and Finland and there is also EU legislation in the matter to consider.

@jupiterbirlesikgezegenleri9884 No, Sweden promised to "look into it" when reworking it's terrorist laws which it was set to do this year even before the NATO application. They never said they would change it and they didn't say which part it would change just that it they will look into it. As what that means we have to wait and see what changes they make and if it has anything to do with Turkey or not.

@yagzefeduman4331 Don't worry it will be better once he is gone.

@chrismtb5193 Bad news for Russia and it's allies. Good news for the west and particularly Sweden and Finland.

@bgbgbg1989 Stop spreading misinformation there has been no such promises about YPG PYD and FETO. YPG are both EU and US allies. The arms embargo has been lifted yes. Nothing else has changed.

Sure, we are not Erdogan's private police force chasing down all his political opponents though to secure him power for life. That's a matter tied to Erdogan not Turkey.
1
@AB-no7pd At the end of the day Turkey got guns and a promise to take their terrorist concerns seriously. Non of the individuals on Erdogans extradition list is being sent over. More than likely Erdogan had made a secret deal with someone because he really did not get much from Sweden and Finland.
1
@ehatipo4598 This has nothing to do with terrorism Erdogan agreed even though his "terrorist list" of 33 people to be sent to Turkey was refused. He got weapons and that was pretty much it. Probably all he wanted all along.
1
@gurcuball6193 YPG is not a terrorist organization in the EU and is an ally of EU and the US in their fight against ISIS. The whole of EU supports YPG and so does the US, that's a fact.

You should thank your government he either made a secret deal with the US or he got forced to accept.
1
@kızgın tosbağa Yeah what does he think, it's a bazaar, everything has it's price nothing is free.
1
@TheTrinquility Sweden and Finland lifted their arms embargo, refused all other demands Turkeys "terrorist list" won't be extradited and YPG won't be a terrorist organization. Everything is the same except Turkey can now buy Swedish and Finnish weapons and Sweden and Finland has promised to take Turkey's concerns "seriously" that's it. Weapons and a Promise that can mean anything.
1
@timknin NATO needs Turkey, not Erdogan. For all we know Erdogan will be a thing of the past after the upcoming election.
1
@bgbgbg1989 Sweden and Finland gave Turkey the lift of the arms embargo and a promise to take Turkey's concerns "seriously" with no specific actions linked to the promise. Basically Erdogan let them in even though they refused all demands except the weapons. So it looks like Erdogan finally made a secret deal with another NATO member (perhaps the US) or he just realized he cannot get what he wants.

Nope Turkey is still Turkey the UN decision only affects diplomatic relations and official documents between nations it has nothing to do with the English language, just how Turkey should be addressed during diplomatic and official state affairs. The UN does not possess the power to change the English language.

Thanks but no thanks. Let the dictators play with the other dictators in a separate play pen and we play with our fellow democracies and allies. The west gets to set the rules for everyone else since they are the top dogs in the game. Perhaps in the future that will change eventually who knows. Maybe 10 years, maybe 100 maybe 200? Until then thanks but no thanks. The strong will conquer the weak, if you are the weak then you should stay quiet and be a good dog until you are strong enough to change things.

@placeswelive5388 he speaks for more than 70% of Swedes. Only one party that's really against NATO in Sweden and they were called The Communist party until their beloved USSR fell in the 90s. Guess why they hate NATO lol.

Swedish Politicians don't hold any power of the judiciary and cannot deny rights to groups of people based on ethnicity. Kurdish people like all individuals in Sweden have no fear of deportation as long as they stay within Swedish law and even if they don't you cannot deport people breaking every law it has to be very specific few laws that warrant deportation.

@kızgın tosbağa The Turkish parliament does whatever Erdogan tells them to do. We can pretend they have a mind of their own but truth is if Erdogan wants a VETO we will have a VETO if Erdogan wants it passed it will pass.
