Niinistö calls for clearer answer from Erdoğan, sheds light on call with Putin

PRESIDENT Sauli Niinistö on Sunday said in the Presidential Palace he is “a bit confused” about the messages sent by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan about the expected Finnish and Swedish applications to join Nato.

Erdoğan on Friday stated that Turkey does not feel positively about Sweden and Finland joining Nato, apparently accusing the countries of supporting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
