'We are sending our delegations to visit Ankara, actually both
Sweden and Finland. This will happen tomorrow so the dialogue is
continuing,' Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said at a

Turkey, a longstanding NATO member, has voiced its objections to
Finland and Sweden's NATO membership bids, criticizing the two
Nordic.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan frequently reiterated Turkey's
