I have a good - and the only conceivable - answer to that. "No." Instead: an ongoing intensified isolation of Turkey by the other NATO members, up to and including non-invitations to NATO meetings, unproclaimed exclusion from the flow of intelligence and satellite data, and interruption of deliveries of military goods and military repair parts under pretextual reasons. Further, a de facto treatment of Sweden as if it were a member, the treatment of Swedish military units as if they were members, and an ignoring of Turkish traraas and carping, without comment, and simply ignoring Turkey.
Turkey with access to EU money pots - and influence (including blocking rights and blackmailing) on decision making processes. That would have just been missing. A worst case scenario.
At least he has now exposed himself that the accusations that Sweden provides terror assistance to the PKK, were only opportunistic pretext.

Turkey does not have so many protocols in order on that base EU will always say no think Ukraine will get an ok earlier than Turkey. And taking Sweden hostage over an EU membership is no go, so contradicting EU founding standards.
