Turkish foreign minister says expects Sweden to fulfill commitments

Turkey expects Sweden to fulfill its commitments under a deal it struck last year in Madrid aimed at addressing Ankara's security concerns as the Nordic country seeks to join NATO, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a news conference, Fidan said it was a cause for concern that Sweden was unable to prevent provocations including the burning of a Koran outside of a mosque in Stockholm last week.
