HELSINKI, June 27, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Finnish and Swedish leaders will discuss
their stalled NATO bids with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on
Tuesday at the start of an alliance summit in Madrid, Helsinki said on
Monday.

"President (Sauli) Niinisto will meet tomorrow in Madrid with Turkish
President Erdogan, Swedish Prime Minister (Magdalena) Andersson and NATO
Secretary General (Jens) Stoltenberg," the Finnish presidency tweeted.

Ankara has blocked the Nordic countries' bids, accusing them of providing
safe haven to Kurdish militants.
