Finland's bid to join Nato has finally secured the backing of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

 

Turkey had blocked Finland's application for months, complaining it had supported "terrorists".

I wonder what the deal was, obviously there was one, what did Erdogan get?

May election which will be very close, economic woes, rebuilding after earthquake and foreign policies may have influence him to change his mind. All above will need friendly hands from EU countries.

Why not kick Erdogan out of Nato?

He is a loose cannon, and menber Greece can block the entrance to the Black Sea.

Well, for one thing, Erdogan isn't a country.

And no, even if Greece had the capability to restrict naval traffic through the Bosphorus, it doesn't have the right. According the the Montreux Convention, only Turkey does.
