Turkey Approves Finland's NATO Membership, Leaves Sweden Waiting

TL;DR Summary
Turkey's parliament has approved Finland's NATO membership bid, clearing the way for the Nordic country to join the alliance. The decision only applies to Finland, not Sweden, its neighbor and fellow membership hopeful. Both countries applied on the same day last year, having made the decision to join the alliance after Russia invaded Ukraine. Turkey was the last holdout among NATO member countries, who need to approve new members unanimously.
