Following an exclusive story by TRT World, Türkiye's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu calls Turkish student Fatma Zehra S. after she was wrongfully denied an internship programme at Stockholm University
Türkiye's foreign minister praises the dignified response of Turkish student Fatma Zehra S. after she experienced"injustice" and discrimination by a Swedish professor at Stockholm University.
In a telephone conversation on Monday, Cavusoglu commended Fatma Zehra S. for handling the situation with dignity in the face of "injustice" committed by Professor Per Carlbring. Last year, Fatma expressed her interest in a research project led by Carlbring. But he quickly turned down her application, telling her in an email, “Turkey does not allow Sweden to join NATO, I have to decline. Sorry!”
The issue has added a new strain to diplomatic relations between Türkiye and Sweden, as the two countries try to negotiate Stockholm's NATO membership.
