Erdogan Submits Sweden's NATO Membership Bid to Turkish Parliament for Ratification

Despite Turkish President Erdogan's move to submit Sweden's NATO bid to legislation, Hungary continues to block the accession; Hungarian parliament would likely make its decision once the Turkish parliament clears the vote.

Despite Turkish President Erdogan's submission of Sweden's NATO bid to the Turkish parliament, the ratification is still hindered by the Hungarian government.
Fidesz party in Hungary, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has stalled Sweden’s bid since July 2022, accusing Swedish politicians of misrepresenting the democratic condition in Hungary.
Ankara’s move towards ratification suggests that further delays from the Hungarian side might be reducing.
Erdogan's resistance to Sweden’s membership was purportedly due to accusations of Stockholm being lenient with Kurdish militants and other groups considered as security threats by Turkey.
Sweden's bid is brought closer to fruition with Erdogan’s decision to submit the ratification protocols to Turkey’s parliament, but the timing of the vote remains uncertain.
Erdogan’s opposition to Sweden’s membership was withdrawn in exchange for increased security cooperation, assistance in reviving Turkey’s EU membership bid, and other trade and investment deals.
