Journalist and author Murat Yetkin stated that Turkey has given its approval for Sweden to participate in a NATO exercise expected to begin this week, despite Sweden not yet being a member, noting: "It was finalized during the NATO Military Committee meetings held in Brussels on January 17-18, where Turkey was represented by Chief of General Staff General Metin Gürak. Therefore, Turkey has also given its approval for Sweden to participate in this important NATO exercise as if it were a member country; all decisions in NATO can be taken by consensus."
