Finland to Join Nato Military Alliance  

The Western military alliance's secretary general has announced that Finland will become the 31st member of Nato. <br />The application was prompted by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, with which Finland shares a long border. <br />Turkey had delayed the application, complaining that Finland was supporting terrorists. <br />Sweden applied to join Nato at the same time last May, but Turkey is blocking it over similar complaints. <br />Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused it of embracing Kurdish militants and allowing them to demonstrate on the streets of Stockholm.
