Turkey's foreign minister stated the country is ready to meet Saudi Arabia's military needs, potentially due to Houthi attacks.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan indicated that Turkiye could supply Saudi Arabia with military equipment. He suggested that Riyadh might require such assistance due to ongoing Houthi attacks originating from Yemen. Fidan stated Turkiye's readiness to meet these potential needs within the framework of a defense pact.
This offer arrives amid heightened regional tensions. Saudi Arabia has been engaged in a protracted conflict in Yemen, and the Houthi movement's capabilities pose a persistent security concern. Turkiye's proposal signals a potential deepening of defense ties between Ankara and Riyadh, which could influence the regional balance of power.
