Turkey’s parliament will vote to approve Finland’s membership in NATO on Thursday, following through on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s promise to let the Nordic nation into the defense alliance.

The bill backed by Erdogan was earlier assessed by a subcommittee of the Turkish parliament and will be approved with a vote at the general assembly, ruling AK Party whip Yilmaz Tunc told Bloomberg News on Wednesday.
