Sweden edged closer toward joining NATO on Tuesday after the Turkish parliament&#8217;s foreign affairs committee greenlit a protocol for the Nordic country&#8217;s accession to the military alliance. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan dropped his objection to Sweden&#8217;s membership during a NATO summit in July, but it took him several months to send the bill to parliament for ratification and weeks for the parliamentary committee to give its consent.<\/p>\n<p>The long-delayed protocol now needs to be approved by the full general assembly and it remains to be seen how quickly the issue will be taken up by the floor. Sweden and Finland abandoned their decades-long neutrality and sought membership in NATO amid heightened security concerns following Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Finland became NATO&#8217;s 31st member earlier this year, after Turkey&#8217;s parliament ratified its bid.<\/p>\n<p>Turkey&#8217;s opposition to Swedish membership in NATO stemmed from its belief that the Nordic country has been too soft toward supporters of Kurdish militants and other groups in Sweden that Ankara views as security threats. These include people associated with the Kurdistan Workers&#8217; Party or PKK, which has waged a 39-year insurgency in Turkey and people with alleged links to a coup attempt in 2016 against Erdo\u011fan. Others are critics of the Turkish leader. Some observers have warned giving in to Ankara&#8217;s demands could undermine Sweden&#8217;s sovereignty, as well as the rights of those Erdo\u011fan wants extradited to Turkey.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2023\/12\/28\/why-is-turkey-finally-getting-behind-swedens-bid-to-join-nato\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2023\/12\/28\/why-is-turkey-finally-getting-behind-swedens-bid-to-join-nato\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/why-is-turkey-finally-getting-behind-swedens-bid-to-join-nato\/\">Why is Turkey finally getting behind Sweden&#8217;s bid to join NATO?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4215,847,848,2879,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-119801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-join","tag-nato","tag-sweden","tag-turkey","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119801\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
