Turkey's parliament will "highly likely" ratify Finland's NATO accession bid before it closes in mid-April, two Turkish officials told Reuters on Wednesday, a day before Finnish President Sauli Niinisto visits the country. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan himself indicated that he would send ratification of Finland's NATO membership to parliament soon, saying that he would "keep his promise."

"Mr. President (Niinisto) will come to Turkey on Friday and we will meet. After that, we will fulfill our promise," Erdogan told reporters on Wednesday, when asked whether he would send ratification of Finland's NATO bid to Turkish parliament next week.

I think Finland would like some protection if Putin casts his eyes in their direction. Given how Putin fancies himself the newest addition of Peter the Great it’s not beyond the realm of possible.

Its Sweden who has the Turkish problem.

Turkyie may run the risk of being ex-Nato if they wobble too much.

As neighbors, Turkyie wants to be friends with USSR, but not ruled by it.
