ISTANBUL, Oct 1 ― President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday warned Turkey would not ratify the NATO membership bids of Sweden and Finland until the two Nordic countries “kept” promises they had made to Ankara.

“We are closely following whether the promises made by Sweden and Finland are kept or not, and of course, the final decision will be up to our great parliament,” he added. Although the Nordic countries hoped for a speedy entry, Turkey delayed the process by objecting to their membership. A deal was then struck between the three countries in June, which included provisions on extraditions and sharing of information, clearing the way for NATO to formally invite the two nations to join the alliance.Only Hungary and Turkey have yet to send the membership bids to their parliaments for ratification.
