Turkey’s pledge of support for Sweden’s NATO entry is tied to goals on security and EU membership

In a surprising move, Turkey has announced its willingness to withdraw its objections to Sweden’s accession to NATO, clearing the path for the Nordic nation to join the Western military alliance.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg disclosed that Turkey had agreed to support Sweden’s bid for NATO membership by presenting the matter for a parliamentary vote.

In exchange, Turkey secured a commitment from Sweden to assist in revitalizing Turkey’s pursuit of European Union (EU) membership, as well as deeper cooperation on security matters, the Associated Press reports.

Following discussions with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Stoltenberg hailed the agreement.
