The political landscape of the Western World is poised for a significant shift as Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has voiced his support for Sweden’s bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The announcement comes ahead of a summit of NATO leaders in Vilnius, Lithuania starting Tuesday.
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, both Sweden and Finland requested to join NATO last year, reversing their previous policies of military neutrality. Finland was granted membership in April after receiving consent from all NATO nations.
