Turkey Supports Egypt's Inclusion in Defense Pact
Turkey expects Egypt to join soon the Tripartite Defense Agreement it has established with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, which reflects a desire to expand the alliance to include other countries, aiming to promote stability in the Middle East region and address security challenges, without conflicting with Turkey's commitments within NATO. The Turkish official confirmed that the agreement aims to better manage regional affairs and represents a message of stability, noting that some states have expressed interest in joining and that discussions are underway regarding expansion mechanisms. He also explained that the agreement results from efforts that have lasted over two years, focusing on collective defense against any attacks, without targeting any country other than the aggressor. Despite the agreement nearing signing, its goal is to support regional security and reduce the influence of external powers, while adhering to Turkey's European commitments and ensuring no conflicts with its NATO obligations.
