Saudi-Turkish deterrence
The Saudi-Turkish momentum is shifting Middle East security from political coordination to collective deterrence, with the Turkish parliament approving Article One of the Mecca Agreement on Joint Defence. The 16-article agreement stipulates that an armed attack on any one of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye or Pakistan will be considered an attack on all three, requiring immediate assistance, including military means. It also establishes a political and defence committee that meets twice a year, and a general secretariat based in Saudi Arabia. The agreement includes a commitment not to withdraw during its first ten years. The three countries say it is intended to strengthen stability and is not directed against any particular state.
