What bargain? I know of two bargains.

Before NATO application was made Finland asked Turkey if they would approve Finland to NATO and if they had any demands. Turkey told that they have no demands and that they would approve Finland. Turkey broke that bargain.

Then there is trilateral memorandum which states following about extradictions:

>Finland and Sweden will address Turkiye's pending deportation or extradition requests of terror suspects expeditiously and thoroughly, taking into account information, evidence and intelligence provided by Turkiye, and establish necessary bilateral legal frameworks to facilitate extradition and security cooperation with Turkiye, in accordance with the European Convention on Extradition.

Finland has addressed Turkey's deportation or extradition requests. Turkey hasn't provided any lists of terror suspects and evidence.

Why hasn't Turkey approved Finland? Why it is all talk and repeated broken promises?

How do you know Turkey hasn't provided lists of terror suspects and evidence? They don't have to do this publicly. In fact, they would do it quietly in order to prevent suspects to flee. Justice departments of each country would talk quietly between them.

>Why hasn't Turkey approved Finland?

It hasn't been voted in the parliament. It's election year and Erdogan has a lot of problems, mainly economic. It says Turkey will host key figures to talk with them.

If you read the article, it says:

>In June, Türkiye, Sweden and Finland struck a deal that included provisions on extraditions and sharing of information.

That was back in June. Maybe they haven't done it yet..
