NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg announced Monday that Turkey has agreed to back Sweden's bid to join NATO.
The support from Turkey comes after Turkish President Erdogan suggested early Monday that Turkey would only allow Sweden to allow NATO if his country is accepted into the European Union.
Later in a news conference, Stoltenberg announced that Turkey has agreed to back Sweden's NATO bid.
Turkey's backing of the deal comes after months of previous opposition.
