While I've seen it reported as of late that fear over Kurdish groups is Turkey's official stance on holding back on voting Sweden in, the original reason given by Erdogan was over an isolated incident where a far-right anti-Islamist burned a Quran[1]. Pretty par for Erdogan's course, but I expect he's likely trying to double-down on appealing to his conservative voter-base for the upcoming election. With this matter of Sweden joining NATO, the outcome of this election has pretty grand implications on the global theater. Add this spicy bit of news from today seems to indicate that Erdogan realizes what is at stake[2] [1]: https://apnews.com/article/nato-politics-sweden-government-turkey-recep-tayyip-erdogan-795fe9f6fd7ed4f0416fc1a78498dd9d https://apnews.com/article/nato-politics-sweden-government-t...
