Sweden and Finland accepted all requests of Turkiye and removed all obstacles to NATO membership.

Both countries are expected to join NATO in a short time.

Here are the things Turkiye got:
• Sweden/Finland will lift its any type of arms embargo
• Both will support Turkiye on PKK, stop support to YPG and FETO
• They will amend their laws on terrorism
• They will share Intel with each other
• They will extradite terror suspects
• Finland and Sweden will support Turkiye’s participation to EU’s Pesko
• Turkiye, Finland and Sweden will establish a permanent joint mechanism to consult on justice, security and intelligence
• Sweden and Finland confirm that there are no arms embargoes against Turkey.

Sweden finally decided to take a realistic approach and provided the conditions to become a member of the union by guaranteeing that it would not be involved in activities that threaten Turkiye's national security and support terrorism.
 
People need to understand that the Turkish parliament still can block the accession of both countries. Nothing is 100% safe until the Turkish parliament has ratified the agreement (as every other NATO member).

Hopefully Turkiye will get iron clad guarantees so these 2 don't renege or turn blind eye to anti-Turk elements once they are in NATO.
 
Since day one, many trolls on this forum have made a lot of stupid arguments.

However, from the very first day, Turkiye had just two main requests from Sweden and Finland:

•Full cooperation with Turkiye in the fight against the PKK and its extensions.

• Demonstrating solidarity with Turkiye in the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

Our requests was perfectly legitimate. Even the NATO Secretary General has repeatedly stated this.

This memorandum is an official document that Turkiye's reservations are accepted by all parties in terms of content. Going against the spirit of this agreement does nothing for Sweden, but sticking to these obligations pays off a lot.

Those who defended that they could not be subject to any conditions yesterday can continue to deceive themselves by looking at this 10-point declaration of acceptance.

Sweden and Finland are not our enemies and we will eventually be part of the same military alliance. The important thing was that the acceptance of our reservations confirmed the legitimacy of our position. First step done. Now we will see the sincerity of this acceptance.

If there will be no problem in that matter, the Turkish National Assembly will not act against this memorandum, which is not legally binding, and will approve the motion.
 
Why Muslim country Turkey need non muslims to defend their country? Turkish men not good enough? Need help from infield European men?
 
Coz NATO is the strongest military alliance of the earth. Without NATO protection Turkiye should doubled her military budget.
Plus Turkiye has not NBC class weapons. NATO also provide nuclear deterrention.

Objectives of nation states are not driven by religious ideologies but geopolitical realities. Religion may be used as an means to convince the domestic population in supporting nation state objectives
 
Hope Turkey is not betrayed down the line by Sweden and Finland.

Anyway this looks like the best that Turkey can obtain at this time.
 
Once accepted, Sweden and Finland will put this memorandum in the trash bin .....
 
Turkey is a NATO member, so why shouldn't it's views be considered. It's quite arrogant to think that only a handful of larger countries should decide everything.

@_Nabil_ that's the whole gist of things you can only enforce it was strength, this'll turn into Turkey vs Sweden/Finland (Backed by remaining NATO). I hope the Turks don't think they can trust Europe especially if you see the treatment that was meted out to various groups of people in the current conflict.

Don't under estimate the importance of Turkey to the NATO alliance. West need them both militarily and geographically.

Turkey is a NATO member who controls the gates of the Black Sea
