President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan has proposed new condition for Sweden to join NATO before he left for Vilnius summit, APA reports.
Erdogan said that Türkiye's way regarding EU membership should be paved.
"We want the words given to us to be kept. First, let's open the way for Türkiye in the European Union, and then we will pave the way for Sweden, just as we have done for Finland. There is a Türkiye that has been waiting at the door of the EU for 50 years," Erdogan said.
