Turkey’s parliament is set to vote on Sweden’s bid to join NATO after President Erdogan submitted a protocol for Stockholm’s admission into the military alliance.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has submitted a protocol for Sweden’s admission into NATO to Turkey’s parliament for ratification, his office said on Monday.
Erdogan had delayed ratification of Sweden’s membership, accusing Stockholm of being too soft on Kurdish militants and other groups he sees as security threats.
A brief statement from the presidential communications directorate said Erdogan had signed the protocol on Sweden’s NATO accession, which will then be submitted to Turkey’s Grand National Assembly.
Sweden and its neighbour Finland abandoned decades of military non-alignment after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his country’s troops to invade Ukraine in February 2022.
Earlier this month, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg urged Turkey to quickly ratify Sweden’s membership in the military organisation.
