Sweden concreted steps for Türkiye's condition last Tuesday to convince that it wants to get its NATO bid approved. The Swedish parliament declares its lawmakers will have a vote on the amendment to its constitution that allows Türkiye's demands of laws to deport terrorists.

Türkiye a week ago told Stockholm of its condition to enact new rules in the laws that will be a way for their bid to join the military bloc, reported Republic World.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the Swedes their concerns are that they must fulfill the condition for acceptance. But instead of acting on it, the Baltic nation has yet to work entirely on it. To this effect, their legislature had all voted for the amendment to their law which will allow demands concerning groups considered terrorists, noted Al Jazeera.

The Turkish government from 2016 had conducted three anti-terror operations over its borders close to north Syria. It was to stop a terror corridor and let residents settle in territories; they are Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018), and Peace Spring (2019).
