Canada on Monday said it had dropped export controls to Turkey for certain types of weapons, including drone optical technology, according to a notice posted online, saying that from now on it would review all exports on a case-by-case basis.
Canada suspended drone technology sales to Turkey, a fellow member of NATO, in 2020 after concluding its optical equipment attached to Turkish-made drones had been used by Azerbaijan while fighting ethnic Armenian forces in Nagorno Karabakh, an enclave Baku has since retaken.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday that Saudi Arabia may have military needs due to the ongoing attacks by Yemen's Houthis and that Turkey was ready to help under a trilateral defence pact that also includes Pakistan.
Turkey has revoked the operating license of Iran's Bank Mellat, according to a notice published early Saturday in the official gazette.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz proposed Thursday that Turkey take in Hamas members from Gaza, amid growing tensions between Ankara and Jerusalem, a suggestion delivered with all the diplomatic subtlety of a passive-aggressive group chat message.
