Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on the Makkah Agreement:

I also want to point out that the cheap political rhetoric that comes up here from time to time does not correspond to reality.

On the ground in Yemen, the legitimate government forces continue their existing struggle.

Saudi Arabia supports them, but on the other hand, we are also doing everything we can to solve it through peace and dialogue. Saudi Arabia has constructive support in this regard, and that's what it's called.

A defense treaty means that when a country that is a party to that treaty is attacked, you stand by them to protect them.

This is not an attack agreement.

Turkey does not intend to send its soldiers to the territory of another country and launch an attack there. It's a defense agreement.
