The central idea of the NATO alliance is that all nations will come to the aid of any nation within the group that is attacked. The alliance will break down if individual nations are free to choose whether they'll actually do so.
Turkey would be responsible for defending Sweden in such a scenario, thus they have a voice in whether they have to be put in such a situation in the first place.
