Impact on Sweden's NATO Membership

 Turkey canceled a visit by the Swedish Defense Minister due to a demonstration by an anti-Islamic extremist in Stockholm, causing a new crisis in their relationship and impacting Sweden's bid to join NATO. Turkish officials were upset about the demonstration and the permission given to the right-wing politician. 

The right-wing politician Rasmus Paludan gave a long speech attacking Islam and immigration in Sweden, and then burned a copy of the Quran. The Swedish ambassador was summoned by Turkey in response, and as a result, the planned visit by the Swedish Defense Minister to Turkey on January 27 was canceled. The Turkish Defense Minister stated that the meeting "had lost its significance and meaning" and was therefore cancelled.

The Swedish defense minister postponed a visit to Turkey due to an Islamophobic protest led by a Danish far-right activist. The decision was made in collaboration with Turkish defense minister at a meeting in Germany. The Swedish foreign minister condemned the protest and emphasized that freedom of expression does not mean the government supports the opinions expressed. The protest was held with heavy police protection and had around 100 participants near the Turkish embassy in Stockholm.

The Turkish foreign minister expressed anger at the Swedish authorities for failing to ban an anti-Islam protest led by a Danish far-right activist. The protest took place with heavy police protection and drew a small crowd. A pro-Turkey demonstration and a pro-Kurdish rally also took place in Stockholm. The Swedish police authorized the anti-Islam protest under the country's freedom of speech laws, but the Turkish presidential spokesman said it encouraged hate crimes and Islamophobia. The head of the Turkish nationalist MHP party threatened that Sweden's NATO membership would not be approved by the parliament.
