Haber7 readers ridiculed Finland's demand to join NATO only together with SwedenFinland has announced that it will join NATO only together with Sweden, Haber7 reports.
To this end, it is ready to wait for the approval of the Stockholm application by Turkey for as long as it takes. Readers of the portal note: "There is patience — then wait." And the main thing is that it does not end in the event of a military conflict with Russia.
Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said that his country wants to join NATO together with Sweden, and not separately. Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said that his country immediately contacted Turkey.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: "If necessary, we can send a different message regarding Finland's membership in NATO, if it does not repeat the same mistakes.
Sweden will be shocked when this happens."
"From Erdogan's speech yesterday, we understand that Turkey has a vision of accelerating the process of Finland's accession to NATO," Haavisto stressed.
On the other hand, the Finnish Foreign Minister said that Finland still wants to become a member of NATO together with Sweden and over the past ten months the two countries have taken positive steps to join the alliance. "Sweden is our closest ally in the field of defense and foreign policy," the minister added.
"We have enough patience to wait for NATO membership"
Reporting on the talks held with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström after Erdogan's statement, Haavisto stressed that the approval of Finland and Sweden's membership in NATO will benefit all member countries of the alliance.
When asked how long Finland is ready to wait for approval from Turkey, Haavisto replied: "We have enough patience for this. Many countries, including the United States, Great Britain and our European allies, have given us guarantees. And that's a good reason to wait. These countries have said that if something happens to us, they will come to our aid because we are on the waiting list. We have received security commitments. Of course, they are not identical to the fifth article of the NATO Charter, but they are very important for us."
Immediately contacted Turkey
At the same time, Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said that after Erdogan's statements, Finland immediately contacted Turkey.
"We have agreed on this with Foreign Minister Haavisto. My cabinet held preliminary discussions with Erdogan's adviser, and Haavisto — with the Turkish Foreign Minister," Niinisto said.

GuestLet them wait.
Putin must be rubbing his hands.
ExpertYes, understand, finally, Sweden and Finland do not want to be members of NATO!
The United States was invited, and Washington could not say "no". However, neither Helsinki nor Stockholm definitely want to face Russia after joining the alliance.

FuatApparently, pressure and an order followed from the United States.
E.ALet Russia only touch you...
Let's see if you have the patience to wait...

HusseinLet's go out, and they'll come in.
CamilleHussein, Turkey has long disbelieved and distrusted NATO.
So once we become a nuclear power, goodbye crusader organization.
ClearlyThey will give you weapons lying around in a warehouse, like Ukraine, and tell you to go to the front.
CitizenBoth countries have betrayed Turkey.
In no case should we support these Islamophobes. I don't think Erdogan will make such a mistake.
NurgulAs you wish, Putin is also waiting.

GuestSo let them wait 50 years.
HAKANThe United States began to form NATO not as a defensive, but as an offensive pact against Russia.
And so far they don't want Sweden and Finland to become members of the alliance. The preposition is Turkey. But this is not the case at all...
Gyumyush29Don't try your luck.
emigrantDo these countries support Turkey's membership in the EU?
sufferingThe goal of these scoundrels is not to join NATO, but to exclude Turkey from the alliance.
