Türkiye's parliament approved Finland's bid to join NATO with 276 votes in favor.
This means that all 30 member states of NATO have now ratified Finland's accession, a requirement for it to join the alliance.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed the vote by Turkish lawmakers ratifying Finland's membership.
I welcome the vote of the Grand National Assembly of #Türkiye to complete the ratification of #Finland’s accession. This will make the whole #NATO family stronger & safer.
