Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte. This was reported by the Office for the Relations of the Administration of the President of Turkey.
Discussed the state of bilateral relations, the process of Sweden entry into NATO, provocative shares in relation to the Koran in Europe, as well as regional and international problems.
President Erdogan noted that next year it turns 100 years old on friendship between Turkey and the Netherlands. The head of state expressed confidence that mutual visits at a high level will contribute to strengthening ties between the two countries.
touching the topic of Sweden membership in NATO, the Turkish leader stated that Stockholm took steps in the right direction, making changes to the anti -terrorism legislation. However, he emphasized that these measures do not make sense while supporters of the PKK/PYD/YPG terrorist organization freely organize shares in this country.
According to Erdogan, the actions to desecrate the Koran in Sweden are clearly criminal and cannot be justified by freedom of expression.
Leaders agreed that one of the most important points of the agenda of the upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius should be the war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine.
