Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on the Makkah alliance and the possibility of Turkey deploying military forces in favor of Saudi Arabia:

"A defense treaty means that when a country that signs the treaty is attacked, you side with it to defend it.

This is not an agreement intended for attack.

Turkey will not send its forces into the territory of another country to launch an attack from there. This is a defense agreement."
