Turkey has not received 'concrete proposals' to address concerns about Sweden and Finland's NATO bid.

This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during his speech in parliament, who added that Turkey wants to see a more sincere approach from the two Nordic countries regarding his country's concerns towards their application for NATO membership. .

He said that Turkey's opposition to official Stockholm and Helsinki regarding their application for membership is not "opportunism" as some say, but more as a concern about national security, reports Telegrafi.

Last month, Finland and Sweden formally submitted their applications for NATO membership at a "historic moment" as it was dubbed after concerns over the stability of their security following Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

Their request will now be considered by the 30 member countries of the military alliance.

However, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed reservations about uniting the two countries in the alliance.

The Turkish government is pushing their demands to Sweden and Finland to crack down on some entities that, according to official Ankara, are affiliated with the Kurdish Workers' Party, which in Turkey is considered a terrorist organization.
