Erdogan's Support for Sweden's NATO Bid Ratification

Turkish President Erdogan has stated that he will try to facilitate the parliamentary ratification of Sweden's NATO membership bid, despite concerns over Stockholm's actions regarding Kurdish militants. Erdogan submitted a bill approving Sweden's NATO membership to parliament last month, but emphasized that Sweden has not taken sufficient action against the activities of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) within its borders. While the approval process may not be rapid, Erdogan expressed a willingness to show positive efforts in facilitating the ratification.
