Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and French President Emmanuel Macron. File photo ANKARA, May 26. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and French President Emmanuel Macron held a telephone conversation and discussed the situation in Ukraine, as well as the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO, Anadolu agency reports. It is noted that Erdogan told Macron that the contacts of Stockholm and Helsinki with persons or institutions associated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party banned in Turkey, in his opinion, are contrary to the spirit of NATO. Finland and Sweden, against the backdrop of the events in Ukraine, on May 18 handed over to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg applications for membership in alliance. Turkey has blocked the start of the process of consideration of these applications. The Turkish President said that Ankara cannot say «yes» to the membership of Finland and Sweden in NATO, because it cannot believe their assurances about relations with representatives of the Kurdistan Workers' Party banned in Turkey. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the country «needs a written agreement» with Sweden and Finland «on a concrete step» by these countries to stop their support for terrorism. » />Kissinger vs. Soros: realists vs. globalists
