Turkey Approves Finland's NATO Membership, Excludes Sweden.

Turkey has approved Finland's application to join NATO, while continuing to block Sweden from joining the military alliance. The Turkish Parliament voted unanimously in favor of Finland's membership, clearing the last hurdle in the accession process. Hungary also approved Finland's membership earlier this week. Turkey and Hungary had stalled the process, with Erdogan accusing Finland and Sweden of housing Kurdish "terrorist organizations," while Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban claimed they were spreading "outright lies" about his country's rule of law record.
