🇹🇷🇸🇦🇵🇰🇾🇪⚡️ — Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on the Mecca Defence Pact:

I also want to note that the cheap political rhetoric that occasionally surfaces here does not match reality.

On the ground in Yemen, the legitimate government forces are continuing their existing struggle.

Saudi Arabia supports them, but on the other hand, we are also doing everything we can to resolve this through peace and dialogue. Saudi Arabia has constructive support in this regard, and this is what it is called.

A defense agreement means that when a country that is party to this agreement comes under attack, you stand by them for their defense.

This is not an attack agreement. Türkiye is not going to send its troops to another country's territory and launch an attack there. This is a defense agreement.
