Don’t let the benefits go to waste because of one stupid person.
Portuguese Foreign Minister Joao Gomez Cravinho, who was invited by his counterpart Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu in Ankara, spoke to SÖZCÜ. Evaluating the problem between Turkey and Sweden, which wants to become a NATO member, Cravinho gave the following messages:
– Turkey has been a valuable NATO ally since 1952, it is the center of NATO. The addition of two new members is a major transformation for the alliance. All allies should feel comfortable during this transformation, Turkey should feel relieved.
– He’s on his way to Finland. Sweden changed its constitution, this is a very important step. The Turkish side says that ‘Sweden took these steps on paper and did not put them into practice’. There is a lack of dialogue between the two countries. ‘You should talk more to both sides. Because we look at the same side and see different things.
Speaking to our writer Deniz Zeyrek, Portuguese Minister Cravinho said: “There is a consensus in NATO for the participation of Finland and Sweden.”
– The selection process affects these issues. Also, a fool stands up and burns the Qur’an. We must not fall into this trap. Strategic interests should not be wasted because of a fool.
– Finland and Sweden should join NATO together.
