Turkey said on Sunday that Sweden and Finland must provide security guarantees on the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and lift all arms embargoes against Ankara before it can support their Nato membership bids.
Cavusoglu said Ankara was making progress with Finland on the issue but Sweden was continuing to be “provocative”, and that Turkey would only be happy after getting security assurances.
Turkey has also asked both countries to extradite suspected PKK members.
Sweden and Finland are preparing to make an official application to become members of Nato after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February pushed them to abandon their decades-long neutral stance.
