Turkey: The opposition parliament opposes the 'Mecca agreement' with Saudi Arabia, saying it is exchanging the lives of Turkish soldiers. Namik Tan from the New Path Party said that the agreement puts the lives of Turkish soldiers on the negotiation table in exchange for Saudi riyals, and that the main task of the Turkish soldiers is to protect the homeland, not Saudi Arabia. He said the elections are coming up, the government needs urgent funding, and it seems it wants that money from Saudi Arabia. Turkish parties in parliament warned against involvement against the Yemeni people and denounced attempts to use Mecca's name to legitimize aggression.
