Turkey says Nordics must change laws if needed to meet its NATO demands
https://www.arabnews.com/node/2093496/middle-east
Citat:In a move that shocked its allies, Turkey on May 13 objected to Finland and Sweden joining NATO on the grounds that they harbor people linked to groups it deems terrorists, including the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and because they halted arm exports to Turkey in 2019. The Nordic states applied to join NATO after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Citat:Ankara has said Sweden and Finland must halt their support for the PKK and other groups, bar them from organizing any events on their territory, extradite those sought by Turkey on terrorism charges, support Ankara’s military and counter-terrorism operations, and lift all arms exports restrictions.
Turci optužuju Finsku i Švedsku da štite teroriste. I treba da promene zakone.

Moscow Raises Two Territorial Issues After Helsinki Requests to Join NATO

Citat:If the Åland Islands issue is familiar to those who closely follow international relations in northern Europe, the case of the Saimaa Canal is not—even though it has long been critically important for the economic development of both Finland and northwestern Russia. Opened in 1856 and expanded in the 1960s, the 814-kilometer man-made waterway connects 120 lakes within Finland to the Gulf of Finland and makes it easier for Finnish firms to export goods to the world. But because of changes in the border between Finland and the Soviet Union following the Winter War in 1939–1940, the channel passes through Russian territory to this day. Between 1940 and the end of the 1950s, there was, thus, no traffic between the two countries along it. But in 1963, Moscow, desirous of integrating Finland into the Eastern Bloc, agreed to give Helsinki a 50-year lease on the part of the canal passing through Soviet territory. That accord was replaced by a second 50-year agreement in 2010, which is projected to last until 2063. It gives Finland jurisdiction over rules governing passage but maintains Russian law otherwise, except for a provision that lifts the requirement for those ships to have Russian visas (Kremlin.ru), November 20, 2011).
