Mecca Pact; Türkiye announces readiness to meet Saudi Arabia's military needs

Elaha Sun Sep 2026 13 hours ago 26

Fidan, referring to the cooperation between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan within the framework of this pact, said the three countries enjoy "serious solidarity." The "Mekka Joint Defense Agreement" was signed last month among the three countries, under which an armed attack on one member is considered an attack on all pact members. Turkey has also stated that this agreement could include more members and is not intended to replace existing alliances.


Turkey's Foreign Minister, in another part of his remarks, deemed the drawing of Saudi Arabia into the conflict between the United States and Iran "unacceptable" and said Riyadh has no interest in entering this war. According to him, various proposals and initiatives have been presented to the conflicting parties to end the crisis; however, their implementation depends on the parties' acceptance of these proposals. Fidan also warned that the economic consequences of this crisis have exceeded tolerable levels.


These statements come as the Houthis of Yemen, who are supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran, have carried out attacks against Saudi Arabia since announcing the naval blockade of Riyadh in July. These attacks have targeted Saudi cities, energy infrastructure, and the shipping sector, raising concerns about global oil supply and alternative export routes for Gulf states through the Red Sea. Turkey has also condemned these attacks and called for their immediate halt.


Following the increase in Houthi attacks, the Pakistani army announced on Friday that it is prepared "at every level" to defend Riyadh. Meanwhile, Al Arabiya network, citing its sources, reported that Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan's Interior Minister, is scheduled to travel to Tehran in the near future for talks with Islamic Republic officials about the escalation of Houthi attacks.



Hakan Fidan, Turkey's Foreign Minister, has stated that his country is prepared, within the framework of the "Mekka Defense Pact," to meet Saudi Arabia's potential military needs, particularly in the technical sector. On Saturday, 28th of Sol (September), in an interview with NTv network, he described the Houthi attacks from Yemen on Saudi Arabia's "territorial integrity" as highly serious and said that Riyadh may require more military equipment and facilities due to the continuation of these attacks.
