Erdogan tells Sweden not to expect Nato bid support.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64380066

And the Süddeutsche Zeitung adds:
--------------------------------------------
On top of all this, there is now an Erdoğan cartoon contest: the socialist magazine Flamman has called for it as a symbolic defense of freedom of expression and a protest against the Swedish government, which it believes is betraying democratic values in its attempt to wrest approval of Sweden's NATO membership from the Turkish government. According to its own information, the editorial team received 400 entries. The winning picture shows an old man holding a small human in both hands and about to bite his head off with vampire-like fangs. Apparently, he has already mutilated his feet. The victim of the man-eater can be assumed to be a Kurdish resistance fighter, judging by his clothing.

The award-winning cartoonist, a graduate of the Stockholm Academy of Art, alludes to Goya's somber painting "Saturn Devours His Children," which Leonidas Aretakis, the Flamman editor, interprets in an interview with the SZ as an "artistic response to the horrors of war and the Inquisition." "Only this time it's Erdogan eating his own children." Five Swedish newspapers, including Expressen, as well as Finland's Ny Tid, have declared in a journalistic show of solidarity that they will also publish the cartoon.
-------------------------------

Imagine a headline like

"NATO general secretary Stoltenberg tells Turkey not to expect further invitations, cooperations, manouvers, supply deliveries and intel sharings. "
