Approval will leave Hungary as only country not to approve application made in response to Russian invasion of Ukraine
The Turkish parliament has started its long-awaited debate on Sweden’s membership of Nato, bringing the Nordic country significantly closer to joining the western military alliance after months in limbo.
Three months after Recep Tayyip Erdoğan submitted a bill on approving membership to parliament, MPs were expected to vote in favour of ratifying it on Tuesday night. If the vote goes in Sweden’s favour as expected, the Turkish president is expected to sign the bill into law in the coming days.
