Turkey rules out offensive role in Yemen
Turkey has ruled out the possibility of sending its troops abroad to participate in offensive operations during the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, according to Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. The agreement, signed in August, states that an armed attack on one member is treated as an attack on all. While Turkey will help defend Saudi Arabia against Houthi attacks, it will not send its troops abroad for offensive actions.
Military officials are evaluating potential contributions, such as air defence, electronic warfare, and technical support, Reuters reported.
