Abstract: Turkey’s veto on Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership was exceeded at the NATO meeting. The positive outcome of Sweden and Finland’s membership in this agreement is clear and unmistakable. It is unclear what Turkey has achieved and what it has vetoed in return.
NATO leaders gathered in Madrid, Spain, to discuss important issues facing the Alliance. The Madrid Summit has set NATO’s strategic direction for the future, ensuring that the Alliance will continue to adapt to a changing world and keep its one billion people safe.
After the NATO meeting in Spain, the typical headline of the newspapers affiliated with Erdogan was “Erdogan slammed his fist on the table and got what he wanted.” However, there has been no development regarding Erdogan’s wishes, how the embargo will be lifted, his entry into the F35 project, and the results regarding the F16 warplanes. The agreement is unclear, and the issue regarding the extradition of those considered terrorists by Sweden and Finland by Turkey was limited to the constitutional regulations of Finland and Sweden.
Since international agreements are mainly used as domestic policy material, autocratic leaders mostly make their agreements in a way that goes wherever they are drawn. Thus they can use them as domestic policy material and create the desired effect on their uneducated voters.
