Türkiye's parliament set to debate Sweden NATO bid

The Turkish parliament was Tuesday set to resume debate on approving Sweden's bid to join NATO, a thorny issue that was further complicated after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan linked it to Ankara's request for F-16 fighter jets from its ally, the United States.

Their bids won fast-track approval from all NATO members except Türkiye and Hungary. Once it is approved by the committee, there will be a vote on the full parliament floor, where Erdogan's ruling alliance holds the majority of seats.
