Ankara says Finland's NATO bid is "less problematic" than Sweden's after Turkey accused the government in Stockholm of enabling groups it deems as terror organisations. But Finland's FM says it is important for both countries to join the alliance at the same time.
The hold-up follows Ankara announcing it would not back Sweden's NATO bid following an anti-Turkey protest in Stockholm. Finland, it seems, is reassessing its options but still insist joining with Sweden is the number one option.
Ankara insists it follows international law, but if a migrant qualifies for refugee status they cannot be ruled to have broken the law by crossing a border.
Sweden and Finland must deport 130 "terrorists" to Turkey before Ankara will approve their NATO bids, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Monday.
