Helsinki will not extradite representatives of the PKK and Fethullah Gülen Movement to Ankara.
The Finnish authorities refused to extradite the Kurds, whom Turkey considers terrorists, which was Turkey’s condition for the country’s entry into NATO. On Saturday, June 11, reports Yle.
It is noted that in early June, the Ministry of Justice of Finland received ten requests from Turkey for the extradition of representatives of the PKK and the Fethullah Gülen Movement. At the same time, Finland satisfied only two cases where people were not accused of terrorism. Both cases involved sexual offences.
According to the publication, Turkey also demanded that the Finnish authorities extradite a man convicted of setting fire to the embassy in Helsinki.
Previously it was reported that Turkey set conditions for Sweden and Finland for NATO membership. Both countries should keep their distance from terrorist organizations and support Ankara in the fight against terrorism.
Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey will not change its position about the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO. The Turkish side will not give its consent until the Scandinavian countries refuse to cooperate with representatives of the PKK.
