Stockholm says senior officials from Sweden, Finland and Turkey will meet in Ankara to discuss the matter in near future. Erdogan earlier denied the need to meet with officials from Sweden or Finland

“Turkey is pressing Sweden and Finland to clamp down on what it calls Kurdish terrorist activity in the two Nordic states and drop their restrictions on arms sales to Ankara, with the NATO member potentially holding the decisive vote on whether the two can join the alliance.” -WSJ
