Mehmet Güner Kaplan (born 18 July 1971) is a Swedish politician of Turkish origin[1] who served as Minister for Housing and Urban Development from 2014 to 2016. He is a member of the Swedish Green Party.
Kaplan resigned from the Cabinet after controversy regarding ties to Islamic extremism. He came under increasing pressure after local media published photos of him at a dinner with Turkish ultranationalists, including the Swedish head of the extremist Grey Wolves organisation, and a former leader of the main Turkish nationalist group in Sweden, who called on Turks to kill Armenians.[2]
