Sweden extradites its first Kurdish activist to support Turkey's admission to NATO

The Swedish authorities have extradited the first activist of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) to Turkey. This extradition took place as part of the implementation of the memorandum on the upcoming entry of Sweden into the North Atlantic Alliance. This was announced on Saturday by the NTV channel.

Turkey, we recall, demanded that Stockholm stop supporting and "harboring" Kurdish activists whom the Turkish authorities accuse of terrorist activities. Extradited to Turkey, Mahmut Tat was sentenced in Turkey to 6 years and 10 months in prison. Back in 2015, he applied for asylum in Sweden, but was denied. Shortly after Turkey demanded that Sweden extradite the Kurdish activists, Tata was detained by the Swedish police.

Upon arrival in Istanbul, Tat was handed over to the Turkish special services, after which he was sent to a pre-trial detention center. Now he has to serve a term of imprisonment in a Turkish prison.

Thus, Sweden has taken the first concrete step, demonstrating its readiness to meet the demands of Ankara, necessary for the Turkish authorities to support its entry into NATO. For decades, since the 1980s, Sweden has tacitly patronized Kurdish activists who emigrated to that country to escape political repression in Turkey. In addition, Sweden helped the Syrian Kurds.

However, the considerations of NATO membership turned out to be more important than the long-standing “friendship” with the Kurds and even than the voices of the rather large Kurdish diaspora in Sweden. In fact, Stockholm has renounced its support for the Kurds in exchange for Ankara's consent to join NATO, and this will inevitably affect the image of the Swedish state and the Swedish Social Democrats, influential in the country.

Meanwhile, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has already praised the Swedish authorities for their decisiveness in joining the country to the North Atlantic Alliance. But he said Sweden needed to back up its words with concrete action. Now, as we see, actions have begun.

So this is what it is, rampant democracy, Swedish socialism and respect for human rights!

Maybe they decided to bargain only in vain, they found it with someone, it will not be easy with the Turks.

Just now, out of all of NATO, only the Turks keep their word. Because they were not taken to the EU, they were not Europeanized enough. "Not ready yet," as they were then told.
And Europeans today, just like true gentlemen, masters of their words. They want - they give, they want - they take back.
Well, betraying, when it is beneficial, those who trusted them and who were promised protection, is generally a common thing for a gentleman.

Sweden extradites its first Kurdish activist to support Turkey's admission to NATO

Well, Sweden extradited one Kurdish activist! And what does it change for Turkey itself if the Kurds are patronized by the United States?! Namely.

Washington has an oil-producing rookery in the same SAR for stealing Syrian oil. And the Kurds, for the promise of American support for the independence of the Kurds and the formation of a Kurdish on the territory in the same SAR, guard oil rigs for the United States in the territory of the SAR and help the Americans transport Syrian oil stolen at bargain prices from Syria to Iraq, where the US operates an American refinery.
The profit from this in the United States is stunning!
The United States will under no circumstances share Syrian oil with Turkey - and Turkey's problem with the Kurds will continue even just because of the Syrian oil stolen from the SAR alone!

You are right, absolutely nothing. And it's not even in the US. The issue of Kurdish activists in Sweden was raised by Turkey simply as a pretext. Well, they will extradite the rest, and then what? But nothing, the Turks will come up with something new .. Only one thing is known for certain, Turkey will continue to prevent the expansion of this very NATO. Most likely, to please the new members, they will rewrite the NATO charter before Turkey agrees. I think so.

But nothing, the Turks will come up with something new .. Only one thing is known for certain: Turkey will continue to prevent the expansion of this very NATO.

Yes, of course, this is generally some kind of WESTERN nonsense !!!
In order for Turkey (Erdogan) to change the national course of the country both in Turkey itself and in NATO itself due to the extradition by the West (Sweden) of Turkey of some units of Kurdish activists - and at the same time, these NATO countries continue to spoil Turkey in the backyard of its national interests - well, this is a complete political naivety of the USA and the collective West!
I absolutely agree with you!

And to hell with small details, but this is a sign of the distance not only of Sweden from us, but also through this Turkey from us. Little joy.
And few people in the world are interested in the fetish of observance of human rights.
And us (Russia) - too.

respect for human rights

A terrorist is not a person. And you imagine this man staged a terrorist attack in Russia and fled to Europe with his tail between his legs. Will you also talk about human rights? And who will be responsible for the rights of those killed by the hands of this person?

they defend themselves, there are a little less Turks than in Germany, and this is about 20% of the population, so imagine what they (the Swedes) will have ...
Well, if the Kurds began to blow up the Turks, I think the Turks in Sweden and Germany need to start thinking ...

[Gankutsu_]

Turkey, the US, China and India are the beneficiaries of this entire war.
One inconceivable discount on resources, another European money, the Turks skim off all possible cream, both political and economic.

Inflation in Turkey accelerated in August 2022 to 80,21% year-on-year, the country's Institute of Statistics (Turkey) said.
Retail prices in Turkey's richest city, Istanbul, rose almost 100% in a year. The annual growth in prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages amounted to 90,3%, inflation in the energy sector reached 121,7%, and transportation prices increased by 117%.
Here you still need to know the opinions of the Turks themselves!

The Kurds are being handed over, so that Vas-Vasya would be with the amers, and they naively hoped for mattress covers. The Americans have no partners or allies, only lackeys and consumables.

You will not envy the Kurds, all their "sidekies" begin to "merge" them.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

And why is it not said how many Kurds Erdogan asks to transfer to him from Sweden? After all, we are oh so interesting! Five or two thousand?

[IVZ]

The strength of the desire of the Scandics to somehow avoid being in NATO is striking. It seems that the United States has managed to drag its "people" into all European power and public structures and, realizing that the Europeans will not endure them endlessly, they are trying to quickly squeeze the maximum benefit out of the situation.

[ASM]

Absolute hypocrites who, for the sake of their own Wishlist, will sell anyone, even those taken into care. So believe then these deceitful pigs. And after all, everyone sees this. live.

[evgen1221]

And in order to be seen and not do anything, the West has come up with many ways to secure, here both media control and courses to love the American homeland for European politicians and gingerbread from deriban objectionable and so on.

[Fangaro]

Swedish authorities are cunning...
They extradited a Kurdish activist who was not considered such.
They extradited someone who was not granted protection, that is, political asylum.
Will such an action be enough for Turkey?
Don't know. And I'm not going to guess.
But more action will be needed to extradite those previously granted political asylum by Sweden.

[Zaurbek]

The Scandinavians and Jews were quickly issued to the Germans in an organized manner.

[evgen1221]

Yes, Nina will not affect the Swedes in any way, well, one Papuan more than one less, it won’t be long for them to promote any homeless person to the skies, the point is to ride around the world and bail with dad and the new leader is ready for something there, the Papuans are underway! And when the order to join a suicidal company is put to the country, then the Papuans can be merged, it’s not a pity.

[Anton Boldakov]

Ten years later, Ukrainian criminals will also be extradited to Russia - that is a precedent.

I would describe it all in one phrase: "Swedish bestiality" ....

[Petr_Koldunov]

Such is the generation of today's Europeans: for the sake of the "benefit" of NATO membership, which is deadly dangerous for themselves, they will betray and betray even their own mother!

[Romanenko]

Another confirmation that the countries of the united West, led by the United States, cannot be dealt with. These Kurdish detachments were organized with American money, supervised by American intelligence services, in Sweden and Finland, their militants received shelter on orders from Washington and now, due to the changed situation, they are betrayed and sold by the Americans to their own allies, against whom they fought at the behest of the Americans.
The circle of abomination, meanness and betrayal is closed.

Collective West often uses only these two methods to destabilize an country:

1. Support Gay rights in random country
2.Support Islamic Fundamentalist in random country

And in both cases it ends pretty bad. Really really bad...

[HattinGokbori88]

PKK =/ Kurds.
If all ethnic Kurds (or even a large number of them) supported the Western-backed terrorist organizations that killed more than 40000 civilians in massive bombing, then the PKK would have succeeded long ago. It's like saying that ISIS represents the Arabs.

[Luminman]

Erdogan is handsome! I wonder when Putin will demand the extradition of any husk, like Kozyrev and Koch?

Amazing abomination!
They didn't even let me leave.
However, this is not news - meanness and greed, and they call this the basis of well-being ...

The Swedes are in a hurry to get to the division of the Russian Federation and chop off a piece for themselves. I would have programmed the coordinates of Stockholm into one of the rockets and sent them this video. It’s better to die than continue to endure spitting and humiliation in your address. , then this is generally beauty. The main thing is that there is someone to press this button.

In the EU and Sweden in particular, prostitution is legal. What is there to be surprised. Give up, betray and sell.

[Alexander Rasmukhambetov]

Yes, it is the Western people who are so corrupt for a penny, they will give an opu, although this is their norm.

[Romanenko]

Recep has something to think about, if necessary, the states will also merge Turkey without blinking an eye. For them, personal is only what is THEIR PERSONAL, everything else is business.
As the saying goes, you can't buy friendship, but you can sell it.
Expensive.

Nothing has changed for a long time ... and 30 pieces of silver always rule, no matter in what form, land, assets, money, concessions ... the essence is important - you can’t trust anyone!

[kill the fascist]

I had almost no doubt that the Turks would wring out their interest, and the Swedes would bend and surrender everything and everything. It doesn't change anything globally. For the Sultan, this is a plus in karma and a weighty argument in the election campaign. The Swedes once again confirmed the status of a country with low social responsibility. Dates and Swedes will be dragged into NATO, even in a semi-conscious state, even with a carcass. For us, a meager plus in this whole situation is that, with proper pedaling of this topic, the rest of the non-aligned world will once again see what human rights, allied relations, etc. are in the West.

Not only that, but many leaders of Ukrainian Nazi batalons are of Finnish ethnic origin. Finland, along with the Baltic states are one of the most Anti-Semitic and Russophobic countries in Europe.

As for Swedes, they are just Turko-Arab asslikers and nothing else.

Long live the freedom-loving government of Sweden - the stronghold of democracy and the guarantor of human rights and freedoms! :)
