Nordic promises must be kept to ratify NATO deal -Erdogan

STORY: Speaking at a news conference in Madrid at the end of a NATO summit, Erdogan said the two Nordic countries must complete legislative changes regarding terrorists as soon as possible.

He also said Sweden promised to extradite 73 individuals that he described as terrorists, although the memorandum of understanding did not have any explicit pledges for extradition. It only stated that the countries would address Turkey's requests.

Erdogan separately said that efforts must be intensified for a lasting ceasefire in Ukraine. Erdogan said he will try to continue phone diplomacy over a grain corridor with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin early next week.
