The Swedish ambassador was summoned to the Turkish foreign ministry over insulting content about President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan aired on Swedish state television, Türkiye's state-owned Anadolu Agency said on Wednesday.
Ambassador Staffan Herrstrom was told that the "impertinent and ugly expression and images" about Erdoğan and Türkiye were unacceptable.
The move comes as a Swedish delegation was expected in Ankara to discuss details about the extradition of people Türkiye regards as terrorists, which Ankara says is the condition to approve Sweden and Finland's bids to join NATO.
