Update (1531ET): Stoltenberg confirms the massive news--there will be a 32nd member state added to NATO, as we now await Russia's sure to be deeply unhappy and frustrated response.

Bloomberg reports, according to a Turkish official, that the decision was made after receiving assurances on key demands, including Stockholm’s approach to supporters of Kurdish separatists operating in its territory.
