Fidan Discusses Mecca Agreement and Iran Targeting
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan explained that the Mecca Agreement for Collective Defense between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan aims to strengthen military cooperation and collective deterrence. It is technically similar to the principle of collective defense in NATO. The agreement stipulates that any attack targeting one of the member countries is considered an attack against all, with the formation of a ministerial committee and the establishment of coordination mechanisms similar to those of NATO. Fidan emphasized that the agreement is not aimed at Iran as long as it does not attack the member states. Turkey considers the safety of maritime navigation in the Red Sea to be in its interests and supports its participation in the international coalition led by Saudi Arabia to protect maritime routes. The agreement was signed in Mecca to develop cooperation and enhance the collective deterrence system among the three countries.
