Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has agreed to support Sweden’s bid to join NATO, the alliance’s secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said Monday.
Stoltenberg tweeted that Erdogan met with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and came to an agreement about Sweden’s membership in NATO, hours after Erdogan said the European Union should first consider his country’s admission to the EU.
In a news conference Monday, Stoltenberg said that Erdogan intends to submit the ratification documents to the Turkish parliament “as soon as possible,” but declined to offer “exact dates.”
He added, “And then of course it is for the parliament then to … have the process and then do the final ratification.”
The Turk is on a roll. The Magyars said they will follow suit. Now the Swedes get to be targeted by Russian nuclear hypersonic missiles in the name of “security.”
