Within the scope of the NATO summit held in Vilnius on July 11-12, Turkish President Erdogan agreed to support Sweden's bid for NATO membership, which he had refused to do for a year. At the same time, Erdogan continues the policy of extracting maximum concessions from Western countries before Turkey approves Sweden's membership application.
