from The Greek Current · host Hellenic Leaders
Turkey’s Parliament voted on Tuesday to approve Sweden’s membership into NATO, clearing one of the final hurdles for a major expansion of the military alliance. The move comes after nearly two years of Ankara setting roadblocks and delaying Sweden’s swift accession to the NATO alliance. Despite Tuesday’s vote Sweden’s accession is not yet guaranteed. Henri Barkey, the Cohen Professor of International Relations at Lehigh University and Adjunct Senior Fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss this latest move by Turkey’s Parliament and look at the lessons US policymakers should walk away with from Erdogan’s handling of Sweden’s NATO accession.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkey Backs Sweden’s NATO BidTurkey votes in favor of Sweden’s NATO membership after months of delayBiden urges US Congress to approve F-16 sale to Turkey 'without delay'Government aims to secure at least 120 Conservative votes
