ISTANBUL: Trkiye on Wednesday denied claims of cooperation with Israel, especially defense-based cooperation.
‘Trkiye does not allow any form of arms and ammunition exports to Israel. There is no military training, exercises, or defense industry cooperation between our country and Israel,’ the Trade Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said the contents within the sections of Customs Tariff are being manipulated and distorted, leading to intentionally false news reports on the matter.
‘Trkiye stands by Palestine and the Palestinian cause today as it did yesterday, and will continue to support the Palestinian cause at all times,’ the statement said.
Ankara will persist continue its efforts to deliver ‘all our assistance and support to our Palestinian brothers and sisters, including Gaza, through every channel.”
‘In this context, we expect the ceasefire decision taken by the UN Security Council to be implemented as soon as possible,’ the ministry added.
