There has been a new development regarding Sweden’s NATO membership. The US State Department said, “We will wait for the completion of Turkey’s legislative processes for Sweden’s NATO membership.”
The membership is expected to be put on the Assembly agenda tomorrow. CNN TÜRK correspondent Duygu Ayaz Bayram, who conveyed the latest information, made the following statements:
Tomorrow, we expect that the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly will have on its agenda an amendment on Sweden’s NATO membership protocol. It was recently discussed in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament. Legislative negotiations were to start tomorrow. However, the negotiations on the protocol for Sweden’s membership to NATO are expected to take place before the legislative negotiations. After the negotiations, it will be put to vote.
WILL TBMM GIVE SWEDEN “NATO APPROVAL”?
Yunus Paksoy, CNN Turk Washington Representative, said, “The last corner has been taken and Washington is in this mood. After Turkey’s approval, the US will also approve the F-16s. We had reported in the Hürriyet Newspaper, ‘Sweden’s approval first.’ According to our news, it looks like they are waiting for the approval first.”
