Türkiye has been subjected to terrorist attacks and it has the right to protect itself against terrorism, says Swedish PM Kristersson
Sweden should not be a place where people who finance terrorism find a safe haven"precisely because their activities are not aimed at Sweden but at Türkiye," says PM Kristersson.
"The rest of the world has reason to recognise that the terrorist attacks that hit Türkiye are just as bad for Türkiye as other terrorist attacks that hit other countries are for them," Kristersson added. In June, the three nations, however, signed a trilateral memorandum of understanding at a NATO summit in Spain, in which the Nordic nations pledged to drop their support for terror groups and help Ankara fight against them.
On Sunday, Türkiye launched Operation Claw-Sword, a cross-border aerial campaign against the YPG/PKK terrorist group, which has hideouts across the Iraqi and Syrian borders where they plan attacks on the Turkish soil. Amid the Operation Claw-Sword, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated that Türkiye will root out all terrorists from the country's borders in Syria and Iraq.
