Turkey Backs Defense Pact
The Turkish parliament has approved the bill ratifying the “Mecca Agreement on Mutual Defense” between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The bill was approved by the Foreign Affairs Committee on October 27 and is due to be referred to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for signature and promulgation. The agreement stipulates that an armed attack on any one of the three countries will be considered an attack on all of them, with the aim of strengthening deterrence and defense cooperation. The countries also agreed to establish a secretariat in Saudi Arabia, initially headed for three years by a Pakistani secretary-general, and to deepen cooperation in defense industries, technology and joint production.
