 Recep Tayyip Erdogan is threatening Sweden with a "shocking response" if it joins NATO.

 

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, suggested that Ankara might consent to Finland joining NATO without consenting to a comparable request from Sweden. Erdogan condemned Sweden for holding back dozens of individuals it claims are connected to militant Kurdish groups. You will give us back these terrorists if you are determined to join NATO, he declared.

 

The remarks by the Turkish president were made against the backdrop of a number of contentious demonstrations in Stockholm, including one in which a copy of the Qur'an was burned in front of the Turkish embassy. These demonstrations included one in which discussions on Sweden and Finland's request to join the alliance were put on hold.

"We told Sweden to turn over the 120 people on our list who are terrorists... I apologize if you refuse to surrender them "Turkey remarked.

Kurds living abroad are more numerous in Sweden than in Finland. It appears to be having intense discussions with Ankara on joining NATO

Sweden was urged by Turkey to break its ties with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is regarded as a "terrorist group" by Sweden, the United States, and the European Union.

 

As a result, Sweden acceded to Turkey's request for a constitutional reform that would allow it to enact more stringent anti-terror regulations. An embargo on supplying military hardware to Turkey that Sweden and Finland had put in place following Ankara's military intervention in Syria in 2019 has also been lifted.

 

The recent rallies in Stockholm, which included one by a Kurdish support organization that hung an effigy of Erdogan from a light, have drawn harsh criticism from Turkey toward Sweden. Erdogan stated earlier this month that elections in Turkey may take place on May 14.

 

Since then, Pekka Haavisto, the foreign minister of Finland, has suggested that talks should come to a halt because Turkey's conversations have "heated up" due to the "pressure" of the impending elections.

 

The diplomat also emphasized that Finland should join concurrently with Sweden, which was a change from his earlier statement that Finland might have to join before Stockholm's request was decided upon.

Erdogan: In a few months, Turkey's inflation rate will drop to 40%.

 Erdogan: In a few months, Turkey's inflation rate will drop to 40%.

Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, stated on Monday that it was "clear" that inflation would drop by roughly 40% in a short period of time and by another 20% in 2023.

 

According to figures released last week, Turkey's annual inflation rate decreased to 84.39 percent in November from a peak of 85.51 percent a month earlier. For the first time since May 2021, Turkey's inflation decreased in November, according to government figures. The state statistics agency TUIK reports that this percentage dropped from 85.51 percent in October to 84.39 percent.

 

Turkey's inflation rate has been slowly increasing since May 2021, when it reached a low of 16.6%. In the presidential elections in June, Erdogan's third decade in office will face significant challenges due to the ailing emerging market economy. After Erdogan started an unorthodox economic experiment last year that aimed to reduce persistently high consumer prices by cutting the cost of borrowing, his popularity ratings suffered.

 

The opposing approach is taken by traditional economic theory, which is accepted by practically every other large country. The Turkish currency quickly lost value as people hurried to buy dollars and gold in an effort to preserve their investments.

Oil and gas prices increased, sparking a wave of inflation that the ostensibly autonomous central bank fuelled further by keeping interest rates low.

 

Erdogan has insisted that his relentless pursuit of economic growth at all costs, accomplished through accessible credit and government assistance, will finally bear fruit.
