Turkey Says It Will Support Saudi Arabia With Weapons, But Not Deploy Troops
Turkey says it will support Saudi Arabia with military equipment and weapons, but will not deploy soldiers to defend the kingdom amid the current security crisis.
The development has drawn criticism, with some questioning Turkey’s commitment to the defense agreement it signed with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, which states that “an attack against one is considered an attack against all.”
Critics argue that Saudi Arabia may have expected stronger military support under the agreement, while Turkey appears to be limiting its involvement to weapons and other forms of assistance.
