**Trying to get with the times regarding the name change now in place!**

[DW](https://www.dw.com/en/turkey-says-sweden-and-finland-not-fulfilling-nato-deal/a-62611117)

> [Sweden](https://www.dw.com/en/will-swedens-fear-of-russia-force-concessions-to-turkey/a-62466891) has not yet extradited suspects Turkey seeks over terrorism-related charges, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Wednesday.
> 
> Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu slammed Finland and Sweden for allowing “terror propaganda” as the two countries await Ankara’s permission to join NATO.
> 
> “They must fulfill their responsibilities, or we’ll block their [NATO bids](https://www.dw.com/en/finland-and-sweden-formally-submit-bids-to-join-nato-military-alliance/a-61833726),” Cavusoglu said, according to state broadcaster TRT World.

> Sweden and Finland applied for NATO membership in response to [Russia’s invasion of Ukraine](https://www.dw.com/en/russias-invasion-of-ukraine/t-60931789) but were faced with opposition from Turkey over claims that the Scandinavian countries were supporting “terrorism.” Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused them of being a haven for Kurdish militants.
> 
> [Ankara dropped its objections](https://www.dw.com/en/turkey-ready-to-back-sweden-finland-nato-bids/a-62294967)in June after the Nordic states to “address Turkey’s pending deportation or extradition requests of terror suspects expeditiously.”
> 
> On Wednesday, Cavusolgu said the deal is currently being processed by his ministry.
> 
> “*If obligations are fulfilled, it will be sent to the president and he will send it to Parliament. Of course, Parliament will decide, but it cannot be sent right now,”*

**At my big tech censored blog, I’d stated what seemed to be obvious to me and no new information has contradicted the fact that the PKK functions as a sort of stay behind army partly used to keep a potentially ‘wayward’ Turkey in check**. **Also beneficial for smuggling drugs etc., a definite plus when covert ops are being funded**.

**Previous prognosticating regarding this agreement in an earlier report, as follows:**

***I don’t think Biden incentivized Erdogan’s compromise.** **`My thought is this entire memorandum is dead in the water`**. **At best this provided some useful PR. Of course things could change, but, there isn’t any real indication that it will.***

**So far. Nothing’s changed.**
