Sweden government decided to dissociate himself from the Syrian wing of the Kurdistan terrorist working party – YPG and its political wing PYD. This was stated by the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs Tobias Bilstrom in an interview with Sveriges Radio.
“There is a very close connection between these organizations and the PKK included in the list of European Union terrorists. This is harmful to our relations with Turkey. It is important for Sweden to dissociate themselves from these organizations. We want good relations with Turkey,” said the Swedish Foreign Ministry.
Earlier, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson also stated that the political ties of his countries with these terrorist organizations are damaged to relations with Turkey. “We should not have political cooperation with organizations that are so close to the PKK,” he said in an interview with “TV4 Nyhtsmorgon.”
Recall, Turkey is ready to ratify Sweden in NATO, provided that the country will give Ankar the PKK members suspected in terrorism and break all contacts with a terrorist organization.
