NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg announces that President Erdogan agreed to forward Sweden’s bid to Turkey’s parliament.



Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has agreed to back Sweden’s bid to join NATO after a year of blocking the move citing Turkish security concerns.
NATO leader Jens Stoltenberg announced on Monday that Erdogan agreed to forward Sweden’s membership bid for the alliance to Turkey’s parliament.

After talks in Vilnius, Lithuania, with Erdogan and Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Stoltenberg said Turkey had agreed to move forward.

“I’m glad to announce … President Erdogan has agreed to forward the accession protocol for Sweden to the grand national assembly as soon as possible, and work closely with the assembly to ensure ratification,” Stoltenberg told a news conference.

“This is a historic day.”
Sweden’s NATO accession has been held up by objections from Turkey since last year, accusing Stockholm of harbouring Kurdish activists Ankara regards as “terrorists”.
But a joint statement issued after three-way talks stated Turkey and Sweden would work closely in “counter-terrorism coordination” and also boost bilateral trade ties.

‘At the gates of the EU’

Earlier on Monday, Erdogan upped the stakes further by demanding that the European Union revive Turkey’s stalled EU membership bid as a precondition for Sweden joining NATO.
The surprise announcement by Erdogan before departing for a NATO summit in Lithuania’s capital added new uncertainty to Sweden’s bid to become the alliance’s 32nd member.
It was the first time that Erdogan linked his country’s ambition to join the EU with Sweden’s efforts to become a NATO member.
“Turkey has been waiting at the door of the European Union for over 50 years now, and almost all of the NATO member countries are now members of the European Union,” Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul.

“I am making this call to these countries that have kept Turkey waiting at the gates of the European Union for more than 50 years. Come and open the way for Turkey’s membership in the European Union. When you pave the way for Turkey, we’ll pave the way for Sweden as we did for Finland.”

US President Joe Biden praised “the commitment” by Erdogan on Sweden’s NATO bid later on Monday.

“I stand ready to work with President Erdogan and Türkiye on enhancing defense and deterrence in the Euro-Atlantic area. I look forward to welcoming Prime Minister Kristersson and Sweden as our 32nd NATO Ally. And I thank Secretary General Stoltenberg for his steadfast leadership,” a White House statement said.

Okay

Hehehe.

I see a lot of people weeping over this news.

A sovereign nation said they want to join an association,you say no. Is it your joining?

What is historic about this news, is Sweden joining African Union?

Under 1 condition

Nice

okay ooo

Putin only made NATO more popular and more friendly to his own neighbours.
If you are a good neighbor to your neighbors, they wouldn't go out, looking for help that you can provide in abundance....

Putin has been humbled again!


People who have heir names beginning with "P" always think it means power.

Putin

NATO only showing the world how powerful and frightening the Russian Federation can be. Just imagine 30+ countries NATO and allies all gathering together under US control for security guarantees yet claim to be sovereign countries. This era made me know what sovereignty truly means with respect to Putin's Russian Federation and President Xi communist China. Sovereign and powerful countries do not need to gang up in order to defend themselves that's why the great Russian Federation will always be more powerful and ahead of them. They ganging up because they scared of been devoured by the great Russian bear. They won't be saved when the time comes. God bless President Vladimir Putin, The Big Daddy of Planet Earth

Putin is a coward like you . On June 29 he had a meeting with wagner leader . Same man he called a terrorist ...same man he tried to ridicule by searching his house ...same man he sent on exile to belaruse... same man he had invited to continue to help him with the war . Admit it he us a coward. Nato will not go into war with Russia...but they can break every protocol if Russia decide to use nuclear weapon on Ukraine..They don't need any permission to give putin a test of his medicine . Ukraine should quickly start using the cluster bomb ...I wanna see if Russia will attempt nuclear weapon ...enough of his threat

Good development

President Erdogan has finally bowed to NATO pressure, though he's still romancing with Mr Putin, he's smarter than Putin

Today's world depends on the power of several alliances, Biden understands that, no be everything be gra gra

rest

I don't really see any thing significant about a country joining NATO

I mean Europe is just one mistake from a nuclear disaster

Think about this in a moment.

Regardless of Nato, Finland and Sweden are already under EU/Nato security umbrella. These two Nordic countries have been working with nato closely since like forever, and all their military equipment is Western.

So joining Nato has little relevance in the eyes of the Russians. It's like officially marrying a lady you've been forking for twenty years. lol

Also, I personally think Joining Nato was a foolish mistake. Too many decades of no war and prosperity and American propaganda have created new generations of weak leaders that don't understand power politics and sphere of influence.

Joining nato comes from the fear that Russia is on a journey to invade every one of its neighbors starting with Ukraine, meanwhile, since 2014, Russia has tried every possible means to resolve this crisis diplomatically, but the west refused.

They rather arm Ukraine to the teeth, grow their army to be Europe's seconds largest, and prepare for this very day, to fight the Russians. But blame Russia for protecting themselves.

And if a war between Russia and Nato ever breaks out, its a point of no return. And even though Finland may not be the cause of the war, they will have to partake in the consequence.

Alright

Hurry up with Ukraine membership too.
