Finland lifts Turkey's arms embargo, is one step closer to NATO
While Finland seems one step closer to NATO membership after Helsinki’s decision to resume defense sales to Turkey, Ankara’s anger at Sweden shows no signs of abating.
ANKARA — Finland lifted on Wednesday a nearly three-year-long arms embargo on Turkey in a fresh move aimed to facilitate Helsinki's entry to NATO, while neighboring Sweden's bid appears to be more complicated as its relations tense up with Ankara.
Finland will resume steel exports to Turkey that are used in the production of military equipment armor, the Finnish Defense Ministry announced in a statement.
