Grekland la veto mot Makedoniens nato-ansökan 2008 och krävde att de bytte namn, Nordmakedonien blev medlem 2020 efter att ha bytt namn.
Det finns alltså andra som tidigare lagt veto mot ansökande länder pga egna intressen, Sverige och Finland kan bli tvungna att ge efter för Turkiets krav framförallt om de vill att ansökningen ska gå snabbt.
Turkiet är medlem i nato vilket ger dom rätt att lägga veto mot ansökande länder.
Saxat ifrån Washington Post:
Turkey’s objection generated some dismay Wednesday on Capitol Hill. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) was sharply critical, saying
the move added to broader concerns about Turkey’s reliability as a U.S. ally following its purchase of Russian antiaircraft systems and its refusal to join some broader Western sanctions after the Ukraine invasion.
Menendez noted that the maneuver was coming as Turkey is seeking to purchase dozens of new F-16 fighter jets, a sale that would require Biden administration and congressional approval. “I hope the administration is noticing it as they’re considering F-16s,” he said. “You should be telling Erdogan you’ve got to act in a different way if you want consideration for anything.”
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a co-chair of the Senate’s NATO observer group, said, “I think it ultimately gets resolved.”
He noted that while the United States has “any number of levers” to compel Turkey’s cooperation, “I don’t want to escalate it to that point.”
