Thus, Finland’s application was agreed upon by all 30 member countries of the alliance.
Turkish Parliament March 30 ratified Finland’s accession to NATO. This was reported by Reuters.
The publication notes that the Turkish Parliament approved a bill allowing Finland to join the North Atlantic Alliance. The decision was supported by 276 Turkish deputies.
Thus, Türkiye became the last country to ratify Finland’s accession to the Alliance. March 27 a similar decision was made by the Hungarian Parliament.

A Türkiye demands to extradite Kurds who have political asylum thereand explains this by saying that “Sweden must take action on such fundamental issues as the fight against terrorism.”
