Turkey's justice minister has said Sweden's pledge to extradite a Turkish convict fell far short of Stockholm's commitments under a deal paving the way for its NATO membership bid.
NATO member Turkey is threatening to freeze Sweden's attempts to join the Western defence alliance unless it extradites dozens of people Ankara accuses of "terrorism".
A non-binding deal Sweden and fellow NATO aspirant Finland signed with Turkey in June commits them to "expeditiously and thoroughly" examine Ankara's requests for suspects linked to a 2016 coup attempt and outlawed Kurdish militants.
The Swedish government said earlier this month that it would extradite Okan Kale - a man convicted of credit card fraud who appeared on a list of people sought by Ankara published by Turkish media.
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag told the conservative Milliyet news site that Sweden needed to do far more to win Turkey's trust.
"If they think that by extraditing ordinary criminals to Turkey they will make us believe that they have fulfilled their promises, they are wrong," Mr Bozdag said in the first government response to the extradition decision.
"Nobody should test Turkey."
Mr Bozdag is seen as one of the more hawkish members of Erdogan's government.
The powerful Turkish leader himself has warned that he will not submit the two countries' applications for ratification in parliament unless they comply with his extradition demands in full.
Meanwhile, two Russian fighter jets are believed to have violated Finnish airspace this morning, Finland's defence ministry said.
"Two Russian MIG-31 fighters are suspected of having violated Finnish airspace in the Gulf of Finland off Porvoo," the ministry said in a statement.
The Finnish Air Force sent up "an operational flight mission" to identify the aircraft, it said, adding that the Finnish Border Guard had started "a preliminary investigation".
The incident occurred at 9.40am local time and lasted about two minutes as the jets flew westward for about one km, a defence ministry spokesman told AFP.
Finland, which shares a 1,300km eastern border with Russia, reversed decades of military non-alignment by seeking membership in the North Atlantic alliance in May.
The Finnish Security and Intelligence Service warned that "Russia has the will" to influence Finland's NATO application process and that "various attempts to do so are to be expected".
Sweden and Finland ended decades of military non-alignment and decided to try and join NATO in response to Russia's February invasion of Ukraine.
Mr Erdogan said in July that Sweden had made a "promise" to extradite "73 terrorists".
The Turkish justice ministry in June formally requested the extradition of 21 suspects from Sweden and 12 from Finland.
Their bids to join NATO have already been ratified by the United States when President Joe Biden signed the necessary instruments in the White House on 9 August last, with Karin Olofsdotter, Sweden's ambassador to the US and Mikko Hautala, Finland's ambassador to the US.
More than half of the 30 members of NATO have also ratified the applications.
Each application must win unanimous consent from member states.
Sweden and Finland are due to hold their first formal consultations with Turkey about the dispute on 26 August.
The Swedish foreign ministry today denied a local media report saying that the meeting will be held in Stockholm. No official venue for the talks has been set.
