"Turkey to Finally Approve Sweden's NATO Membership Bid After Long Delay"

Turkey's parliament is debating a bill to approve Sweden's NATO membership, with the ruling party and its nationalist allies expected to approve the protocol, which would come into effect swiftly. Turkey has been seeking concessions from Sweden, including a tougher stance toward Kurdish militants and members of a network Ankara blames for a failed coup in 2016. The main opposition party supports Sweden's membership, but a center-right party indicated it would oppose it. Hungary has also stalled Sweden's bid, alleging lies about the condition of its democracy, while NATO requires unanimous approval from all existing members to expand.
