Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has finally sent Sweden's NATO accession bid to the country's parliament for ratification, after months of speculation. Turkey had previously blocked Sweden's bid, citing concerns over the country harboring Turkish opposition groups considered to be "terrorists" by the Turkish government.
