Greater Middle East (bbabo.net), - Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced a positive dialogue with Finland and Sweden on agreements within NATO. It is reported by TRT News on November 28. At the same time, the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry noted that many issues still remain unresolved.

Cavusoglu noted that a trilateral meeting with the Foreign Ministers of Sweden and Finland is scheduled for November 29 in Bucharest.

Earlier, during a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Cavusoglu said that Finland and Sweden have not yet fulfilled all the conditions for Turkey to join NATO: “We see some positive steps, in particular, the lifting of the arms embargo and changes in legislation.
