Turkey has announced a new defence pact with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, asserting that it aligns with NATO commitments. The country's anti-disinformation service clarified on X that the agreement does not contradict Turkey's existing international alliances, including those within NATO. The service emphasized that the pact is an additional mechanism for regional cooperation, supporting security efforts, and is not an alternative to Turkey's NATO membership.

The statement was made in response to baseless claims and manipulative posts questioning the compatibility of the new agreement with Turkey's NATO obligations.
