Turkish FM questions Egypt's role in Mecca Alliance
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that Egypt is expected to join the "Mecca Alliance," which includes Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, and aims to strengthen joint defense cooperation. He clarified that the agreement is similar to Article 5 of NATO's Charter, involving advanced military training and exercises. He considered this a significant step toward achieving lasting stability in the region, which has experienced instability for a hundred years since the Ottoman Empire's withdrawal. Fidan emphasized that the alliance does not include expansionist countries and that its goal is to protect member states from common threats, while there will be no objectives against other countries that are not attacking them.
