Vorwort
Hardly anyone had expected NATO‘s northern expansion to be met with opposition from Ankara. Turkey justified its veto with the accusation that Sweden and Finland were supporting anti-Turkish terrorist organisations and financing terrorist infrastructure in Syria. This was contradicted in Western public opinion with the argument that Ankara, in contrast to the Kurds, had behaved ambivalently in the fight against ISIS and continued to tolerate radical Islamist groups in northern Syria.
