Last month, Sweden and Finland announced their application for joining NATO, but Turkey, a member of NATO, said that Turkey would not agree to join NATO for countries where Treasury imposed sanctions. According to the regulations, NATO must be "unanimously agreed" to absorb new members with a member country. Therefore, Sweden and Finland have been working hard to lobby Turkey to agree with their applications.

It is reported that Finland and Sweden support the Kurdish worker party, which has caused Turkey dissatisfaction. The Kurdish Workers 'Party has a long conflict with the Turkish government. The purpose of the Kurdish Workers' Party is to establish an independent country at the Kurdish residential area at the junction of Turkey, Iran, Iran, and Syria. Turkey has listed the Kurdish Workers' Party as a "terrorist organization".

On June 13, local time, Swedish Prime Minister Anderson said at a press conference that Sweden was modifying the counter -terrorism law and further tightening the control measures for terrorists.

Anderson said: "From July 1st, we will formulate stronger legislation in combating terrorism. Therefore, there is no doubt that Sweden hates terrorism. We are willing to contribute to cracking down on terrorism. ","

Stoltenberg also said at a press conference: "I have welcomed Sweden that I have begun to change its counter -terrorism legislation."

Stoltenberg believes that Sweden now takes measures to accelerate the process of joining NATO in Sweden and Finland. Because after joining NATO, if Sweden is attacked, the NATO allies will help Sweden for joint defense.
