Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus, speaking about the likelihood of Ankara endorsing Sweden's NATO membership by the summit in Vilnius, said the Turkish side is waiting for specific steps from Stockholm.
"We positively assess the changes in the Swedish anti-terrorism legislation, we are waiting for their specific application, extradition to us of persons whose extradition has been requested," Kurtulmus said in an interview.
"As far as I know, Mr. President [Recep Tayyip Erdogan] will attend the summit. We will wait for specific steps," he said.
With the start of the conflict in Ukraine, Sweden abandoned its long-term neutrality and, jointly with Finland, applied to join NATO. Finland has joined the alliance, but Turkiye has opposed Sweden's entry.
