A member of the Central Committee of the Syrian Kurdistani Unity Party (PYKS) said: Turkey's agreement with Sweden and Finland targets the interests of the Kurdistan Workers'Party (PKK).
Turkey's refusal to accept Finland and Sweden's bid to join NATO has triggered a spat within the alliance otherwise united over the two Nordic countries' prospective entry.
Some Western diplomats, referring to the significant presence of Kurds in the political body of Finland and Sweden, do not consider Turkey's opposition to the two countries to join NATO as unexpected.
