It ain't over till its over. https://www.yahoo.com/news/erdogan-raise...26158.html This could be a problem, because I SERIOUSLY doubt those extradition requests will meet Swedish or Finnish legal standards. Caving on the arms embargo was probably a bitter pill for them to swallow, but it is kind of a fact that embargoing your fellow NATO partners isn't a good look. The US does it, but we don't make a public statement about it usually. Agreeing not to support the PKK can be viewed as a non-concession, as in theory they don't anyway. Also, ATM domestic politics in Sweden and Finland are basically anti-Syrian immigrant, so that is probably palatable. The extradition issue is a big one. We aren't home free yet.
