This was stated by the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan, writes Ukrinform.

The head of state believes that the country shows disrespect for religious beliefs and supports terrorist organizations.

"The Swedish leadership does not need to remind us about rights and freedoms.

If you respect rights and freedoms so much, you will first respect the religious beliefs of the Republic of Turkey or Muslims.

If you don't show such respect, I'm sorry, you won't get any support from us in NATO," Erdoğan said.

The Turkish president believes that if terrorist organizations are protected in Sweden, they should be entrusted with the protection of their country.
