BRUSSELS — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday pressed Turkey to quickly ratify Sweden's membership in the military organization, three months after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would help hasten the process in the Turkish parliament. “Many allies would like to see speedy progress on this ratification,' Stoltenberg told The Associated Press after chairing a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels.
Ankara also received assurances from Sweden that it would help revive Turkey’s own quest to join the European Union. Under the deal, NATO as an organization agreed to address Turkey's concerns about terrorism. Stoltenberg said Thursday that he had appointed Assistant Secretary General Tom Goffus will serve as his special coordinator for counter-terrorism.
