You are definitely one of the best news channels in Europe!😄👍
You should say Turkiye , white boy, before starting speculating about the matter.
TÜRKİYE'NİN FİNLANDİYA'NIN NATO'YA KATILMASINDA DESTEKLEMEDİĞİNİ UMUT EDİYORUM !!!! Burada Türkiye, Finlandiya vatandaşları için gerçekten iyi bir iş çıkarırdı!!!!
They should get some native English speakers.
Are Finland and Sweden members of NATO now?
Nah. The proposal need to be ratified by the parliament of each countries. Of course Turkey can block it by not sending the proposal to parliament if Turkey did not get the extradition done!
@@wanghaoyu7740 I don't see that the extradition question is in any way vague in the Memorandum: "Finland and Sweden will address Turkiye's pending deportation or extradition requests of terror suspects expeditiously and thoroughly, taking into account information, evidence and intelligence provided by Turkiye, and establish necessary bilateral legal frameworks to facilitate extradition and security cooperation with Turkiye, in accordance with the European Convention on Extradition." The key is the last part of the sentence (which is the basic ruleset for extratraditions):
* The relevant crime is sufficiently serious. (at least one year prison sentence in both countries)
* There exists a prima facie case against the individual sought. ("sufficient to establish a fact or raise a presumption unless disproved or rebutted.")
* The event in question qualifies as a crime in both countries.
* The extradited person can reasonably expect a fair trial in the recipient country.
* The likely penalty will be proportionate to the crime.
While, according to international law, each State has legal authority over people residing within its territories, many countries have extradition agreements in place with other countries around the world. Obstacles to extradition are, among other things, related to the extradition of one's own citizens, political crimes, the existence of the right to prosecute and the human conditions of the person to be extradited. Finland does not extradite its own citizens even to the member states of the European Union and the Nordic countries except under certain conditions.

If we take a look the Turkish extradition requests from Finland within 2019-2022 there have been 10 such cases, 7 of which have been solved so far. Two have been deported to Turkey (both for sexual crimes). Two requsts were refused because individuals were accused to belong to Gülem-movement, and Turkey couldn't accuse these have commited actual crimes punishable by Finnish law. Two individuals with connections of PKK have also refused, one because he has already been punished his crimes in Finland and has now Finnish citizenship like the other one too. A man who Turkey demanded to extradite because of Facebook posts also remained in Finland. The writings were suspected of insulting President Erdogan. There was no justification for extradition, because according to the Ministry of Justice, the writings could at most lead to a fine for defamation in Finland.
So Finland has been following the European rules for extraditions by the book, and I don't understand why Erdogan is making all the fuss.
@@keimok1717 anyway Turkey can still block it if the extradition does not go with the way they want. From what we can see now, Turkey is already complaining. lol, wait and see how both sides resolve this.
@@wanghaoyu7740 There is no hurry. Russia is not going to do anything at least for some years. Of course it would be better to have this situation over as fast possible but if Turkey wants to play their game we can wait.
@@wanghaoyu7740 I fear the west will do something so extraordinarily stupid that it would cause Turkey to disavow NATO and join Russia.
As if Erdogan and Putin is of the same mindsets.
I understand Turkey reached an agreement with Sweden and Finland to agree with their NATO membership. Not "news."
Yes and later Erdogan came with more demands. The agreement is vague, and 🇹🇷 interprets it differently than 🇫🇮🇸🇪. It’s far from over.
Turkey reached an agreement but Turkey has given Finland and sweden a deadline to meet their demands or they will veto them from joining.
It's not agreement just mou... Subject to action from sweden and finland... If no action turkey will block the membership
