Helsinki would prefer that the two countries join the alliance as planned, but now the decision rests with Ankara.

If the Turkish government postpones Sweden’s entry into NATO, Finland will join the alliance on its own. This was announced on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference by Finnish Defense Minister Mikko Savola, the Associated Press reported on February 18.

According to the minister, Helsinki would prefer the two countries to unite in NATO. However, if Turkey approves Finland without Sweden, it will not slow down the process.

“No, no. Then we will join,” emphasized Savola.

According to him, Stockholm is the closest Finnish partner and almost every week the defense forces of the countries conduct joint exercises.

“It is a very deep cooperation, and we trust each other very much. But now it is in the hands of Turkey,” added the head of the Finnish Defense Ministry.

According to AP, other Finnish officials who participated in the events of the Munich Security Conference expressed similar opinions.

Earlier, Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto allowed the country to join NATO without Sweden.
