Turkish FM: 'No Deployment of Troops to Foreign Territories for Offensive Purposes' Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan drew a line on October 8 regarding the situation where Saudi Arabia, an ally under the "Mecca Joint Defense Treaty," is clashing with Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, stating that Turkey will not deploy troops "for offensive purposes." According to Anadolu Agency, during a joint press conference following a meeting with Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó in Ankara that day, Minister Fidan stated, "If a treaty member state is attacked, we come together to defend that country." However, he added, "This is not an offensive treaty," and emphasized, "Turkey will not deploy troops to another country's territory to carry out attacks."
