Turkey's parliament has approved Sweden's application to join NATO, clearing a long-standing hurdle to its accession.
Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly in favor of Sweden's bid to become the 32nd member of the alliance, after it won the public backing of Turkey's President.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan had accused Sweden of being too lenient towards Kurdish groups that Turkey classifies as terrorist organizations. Stockholm responded by tightening its anti-terrorism laws. Turkey's approval leaves Hungary as the only NATO member yet to ratify Sweden's membership.
