ial elections are approaching in Turkey and voters may mobilize with indignation. Regardless of the geopolitical costs, Finland is already considering joining, if necessary, without harming nature. The Holy Scriptures of Islam are on fire. Far-right politician Rasmus Paladun not only sets fire to a Koran. He also fuels the debate about Sweden joining NATO. His action sparked large protests in the country. Türkiye canceled a planned meeting with the Swedish Defense Minister.

Actually, there should be a discussion about Sweden joining NATO, which from Turkey's point of view it is now. It is clear that those who allowed such atrocities in front of our embassy have no charity on our part. You can expect more from your NATO membership application. Let terrorist organizations roam freely on your streets and roads and then expect our support. be accepted in nature. That will not happen. 28 of the 30 NATO members have already agreed to admit Sweden, only Hungary and Turkey generally support Sweden from the NATO Secretary General in the space on freedom of expression. Of course, I am absolutely against this type of insult to other people and I am absolutely against this behavior that we experience on the streets of Stockholm, but it is something that is not illegal because freedom of expression is strongly rooted and it is a great right. .

Foreign Minister Packer Harvestor has announced that NATO membership should also be considered without the Swedish neighbour. The two countries really wanted to unite, which could happen. The Paludan action and the hardened relations between Turkey and Sweden are now apparently changing and are now connected. Vienna No, Casim, he is a freelance correspondent in Turkey, welcome and for you the question initially was that Sweden was not tough enough on the PKK from Erdogan's point of view and now takes this burning of the Koran as a reason to continue doing it. reject NATO from Sweden because Erdogan really has something against Sweden in NATO, so I think Erdogan is taking every opportunity to campaign, he has an election ahead of him right now and he has to win it, he doesn't see it right now. very good because Turkey is in a very bad economic situation, all the consequences after Corona are not so rosy in Turkey, the inflation is extremely high and cannot be compared with what we have here in Western Europe and we are already complaining that there are There are many reasons for Erdogan to fear his defeat and his re-election and now of course he takes every opportunity to raise spirits and something like the burning of the Koran is of course a good reason to say "I am the man strong". and now I am blocking Sweden from joining NATO.

Are you taking advantage of it? So Sweden could have avoided this situation now if it had reacted differently, in my opinion harsher punishments against this right-wing extremist who burned the Koran or is it just this model. In fact, it is actually so beautiful, so Erdogan, as I said, uses every template to be able to mark the strong man, that was after the 2016 coup attempt in July, so he tried to condemn this coup, of course, because it is undemocratic, but he used it on all dissidents to silence all critics to imprison them, which was done before, but then he did it even more harshly. , then he also took this opportunity, what could Sweden have done?

They would have prevented this appearance of the politician but ultimately he is limited by the law, so it is unpleasant, it is to condemn and criticize, but it is not illegal, as the Secretary General says. Nature has already said it, so yes, it is what it is. I think it's a matter of time before they do it. Once the elections in Turkey are over, the drugs may soften up and Sweden will have another chance. to obtain the approval of Turkey: this Rasmus paludan is known as a right-wing extremist and obviously enjoys the provocation of him Erdogan and his followers do not care if they react so violently or ignore all rationality when it comes to the Koran .

In many Islamic countries, rationality is suspended and every insult to the Prophet, every use of the Koran is immediately suspended. Pakistan is considered a capital crime. By the way, Pakistan, which is also an Islamic country, has just tightened its blasphemy law. A few days ago and in Türkiye it is similar or suspends rationality. I can understand to some extent that you would be offended if you are so religious. Obviously, I'm not religious, I'm not, you have to live, but. I can understand people thinking like that, that's why I condemn such actions, what's the point, basically it's just the intention to provoke.

On the other hand, of course, it would have been much, much better if you had. he reacted casually or he didn't react at all and just ignored it but like I said he is back on the campaign trail and this is now a finding that he can use to proliferate, he can mark the strongman or he can say this is now a reason to do it again. Ultimately, he doesn't care if Sweden becomes a member of NATO or not, but it sends the internal signal that he is the strong one and that he won't tolerate something like that. that he is also the protector of Islam and that he is very well received by his very conservative electorate says no K7 thank you very much for the conversation our television station Welt brings you the latest news and background reports 24 hours a day here we highlight the most important topics of the day and categorize what is happening for you.
