Turkey appreciates Sweden's steps so far to to get approval to join NATO but is not even “halfway” through fulfilling a list of commitments it made to secure Ankara's support, the Turkish foreign minister said Thursday.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said a Swedish court’s decision not to extradite a man wanted by Turkey for alleged links to a 2016 failed coup had “poisoned” a positive atmosphere in negotiations on Sweden’s membership in the military alliance.
