THE Anchor threatens to block the accession of Sweden and Finland to the alliance following their application this week to join.
“Given the widespread misinformation about Sweden and the PKK, we would like to remind you that the Swedish government of Ulf Palme was the first after Turkey to classify the PKK as a terrorist organization since 1984.” wrote on Twitter the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ann Linde.
“The EU followed suit in 2002 when Anne Linde was foreign minister. “This position remains unchanged,” he stressed.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said yesterday, Thursday, that Sweden and Finland host and fund “terrorists”reiterating Ankara’s accusation that the two countries support organizations that Turkey considers terrorist, namely the PKK and the Syrian Kurdish militia YPG.
Due to the vastly spread #disinformation about 🇸🇪 and PKK, we would like to recall that the 🇸🇪 Government of Olof Palme was first after 🇹🇷 to list PKK as a terrorist organization, already in 1984. EU followed suit 2002, when Anna Lindh was 🇸🇪 FM. This position remains unchanged.
