It\u2019s time for Sweden to join NATO because it has done what\u2019s necessary to secure Turkey\u2019s<\/a> approval for membership, the military alliance’s secretary-general said Monday.<\/p>\n

“I have said that time has come to bring to an end the ratification process for Sweden,” Jens Stoltenberg told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet in an interview.<\/p>\n

In May, Sweden and neighboring Finland dropped their longstanding policies of military nonalignment and applied to join NATO following Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/a>. The move requires the unanimous approval of the alliance members. Turkey has held up the process while pressing the two Nordic countries to crack down on groups it considers to be terrorist organizations and to extradite people suspected of terror-related crimes.<\/p>\n

Last month, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Sweden was not even “halfway” through fulfilling the commitments it made to secure Ankara\u2019s support. His remarks came after a Swedish court ruled against extraditing a journalist wanted by Turkey for alleged links to a 2016 failed coup.<\/p>\n

“I am confident that Sweden will become a member of NATO. I do not want to give a precise date for when that happens,” Stoltenberg said. “So far, it has been a rare, unusual and fast membership process. Normally, it takes several years.”<\/p>\n

Sweden\u2019s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has said that Sweden has lived up to its commitments and that the decision now “lies with Turkey.”<\/p>\n

“We have a very good process together with Finland and Turkey and are doing exactly what we said, which Turkey is now confirming,” Kristersson said on Sunday, the first day of the three-day People and Defense conference in Salen, a ski resort in central Sweden. The event was attended by Stoltenberg and Swedish foreign policy and security experts.<\/p>\n

“Legislation banning participation in terrorist organizations is being implemented, and Turkey is known to name individuals it wants extradited. It is also known that Sweden has legislation that is clear and means that it is up to the courts. We also do not extradite Swedish citizens to any country.”<\/p>\n

There was no immediate reaction from Turkey to the comments by Stoltenberg and Kristersson.<\/p>\n

The parliaments of 28 NATO countries have already ratified Sweden<\/a> and Finland\u2019s membership. Turkey and Hungary are the only members that haven\u2019t yet given their approval.<\/p>\n

Under the memorandum, the two countries agreed to address Turkey\u2019s security concerns, including requests for the deportation and extradition of Kurdish militants and people linked to a network run by U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen. The Turkish government accuses Gulen of masterminding the 2016 coup attempt, which he denies.<\/p>\n

However, Sweden\u2019s top court has refused to extradite journalist Bulent Kenes, whom Turkey accuses of being among the coup plotters. Kenes, who received asylum in Sweden, was the editor of the English-language Today\u2019s Zaman newspaper which was owned by the Gulen network and was closed down as part of Ankara’s crackdown on the group.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Sweden\u2019s government said it was planning to reactivate civil conscription by asking the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency to prepare education for people who would be asked to serve with municipal emergency services in the event of a military conflict<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
