Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said Ankara will assess Saudi Arabia’s military requirements under the Makkah defence pact following recent Houthi attacks. He emphasized that Saudi Arabia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty face growing threats and stressed that Türkiye stands firmly with Riyadh.
Speaking to NTV on Saturday, Fidan said the ongoing attacks have created serious security concerns in the region. He added that Türkiye strongly condemns strikes targeting Saudi territory, particularly attacks on oil facilities and the holy city of Makkah.
Regional Security Concerns Continue to Grow
Fidan noted that the situation around the Bab al Mandab Strait has become increasingly complicated. Moreover, he warned that the economic impact of the crisis has exceeded acceptable levels and continues to affect regional stability.
He also stated that Türkiye is closely monitoring developments under the framework of the Makkah pact. According to Fidan, Ankara remains committed to supporting efforts that protect Saudi Arabia’s security and sovereignty.
“The Makkah Alliance is really at a good stage,” Fidan said. He added that participating countries have demonstrated strong determination to strengthen cooperation and implement practical measures.
Makkah Alliance Seen as Key Platform
Fidan described the Makkah Alliance as a potentially transformative platform for regional cooperation. Furthermore, he said member states are working actively to turn political commitments into effective actions.
He revealed that several diplomatic initiatives are currently underway to address the crisis. However, he stressed that all parties involved must produce tangible outcomes to ensure lasting stability.
Separately, Fidan said it was unacceptable for Saudi Arabia to become involved in the conflict between the United States and Iran. He emphasized that Riyadh has no intention of joining the war and should not be drawn into the confrontation.
