Fidan: Turkey-Pakistan-Saudi Defense Pact Not Against Iran
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan signed a joint defense agreement aimed at strengthening security cooperation in the region. The agreement focuses on ensuring the safety of navigation in the Red Sea and maintaining regional stability. The Turkish Foreign Minister emphasized that the deal is not aimed at Iran and is similar in structure to NATO's Article Five, featuring a ministerial committee and a general secretariat. It is part of an effort to build sustainable self-reliant capabilities and avoid an arms race or the formation of a sectarian bloc. Egypt is expected to join the agreement after technical arrangements are finalized. Saudi Arabia confirmed that the agreement is not related to nuclear pursuits or security threats and sees it as a measure to achieve regional security and stability.
