Davos 2023: Finland hopes Turkish minister's U.S. trip will boost its NATO membership bidDAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Finland said on Tuesday it hoped that Turkey's foreign minister's trip to the United States this week would bring positive impetus for it and Sweden's bids to join NATO, which have been held up as they lack backing from Turkey and Hungary.The two Nordic states applied last year to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) following Russia's invasion of Ukraine but their bids must be approved by all 30 NATO member states.On Monday, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said the two countries had to deport or extradite up to 130 "terrorists" to Turkey before parliament would approve their bids to join NATO."At expert level the discussions are going well .. and the cooperation goes well but we still see a lot of heated debate on this issue," Finland's Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto told Reuters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.Some have speculated that should the deal go ahead Ankara would soften its resistance to the Nordic bids."
