Türkiye "cannot say yes" to Sweden's NATO bid under current conditions, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Tuesday during a press conference, local media reported. 

The conference was held after a meeting with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in Budapest.

"If Sweden fulfills its obligation, we will sit down and talk. But right now, it is not possible for us to say yes to Sweden's NATO membership," Cavusoglu said.

During his visit to Budapest, Cavusoglu also met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and the two leaders agreed that a peaceful solution should be found to end the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible.
