Turkey's withdrawal from NATO is not under consideration at the moment, said Omer Celik, an official spokesman for the ruling Justice and Development Party.

The words of those who talk about Turkey's withdrawal from NATO are extremely surprising, Celik told CNN Turk.

Sweden's relations with Turkey have deteriorated over the past few days with protests in Stockholm and the burning of a Quran by Rasmus Paludan, leader of the Danish far-right party Tough Course, after Swedish authorities obtained permission to hold the action. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Jan. 23 that Sweden should not count on Turkish support for its NATO bid.
