Ankara has accused Sweden yet again of failing to fulfill its commitments under a trilateral memorandum signed in June together with Finland, whereby Turkey would ratify the Nordic countries’ memberships into NATO if they addressed its concerns on terror-related issues.

Briefing reporters Monday after a meeting of the executive committee of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), AKP spokesman Omer Celik said Sweden “makes very beautiful, elegant promises at the very highest level,” but they haven’t taken any concrete action so far.

Turkey and Hungary are the sole NATO members to have not ratified Sweden's and Finland’s bids to join the alliance in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is scheduled to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul on Nov. 4 in a bid to overcome the impasse ahead of a planned visit by Sweden’s new prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, to Turkey on Nov. 8. The Ukraine conflict and rising tensions between Turkey and Greece will also be on the table.

Kristersson sent a 14-point letter to Erdogan in which he reportedly outlined measures taken to address Turkey’s security concerns. According to Swedish media, Kristersson said that Sweden takes these concerns “very seriously” and wants “to cooperate in the fight against terrorism, including threats from the terrorist organization PKK and all other terrorist organization and their branches.” He was referring to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which is very active within the ethnic Kurdish community in Sweden.
