He further added that it is very important for his country that this happens before the NATO summit in Madrid, which is scheduled in June.

“We think that these problems can be solved which Turkey has been raising and it's probably very important that some results could be achieved before the Madrid summit which is an important moment for NATO and also for us as applicant countries in the end of June,” Haavisto said during a press briefing.
