Turkey Parliament Set to Vote on Sweden’s NATO Bid This Week

Turkish parliament is set to vote on Sweden’s entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization later this week, a senior government official told Bloomberg on Monday.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party, which commands a majority in the parliament together with its nationalist ally, will seek parliament’s approval to ratify Sweden’s long-awaited NATO membership, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. A Turkish approval would leave Hungary as the last holdout to the bloc’s Nordic expansion.
