STATEMENT FROM YANKI BAĞCIOĞLU ABOUT THE 'MECCA AGREEMENT'

NEW Party National Defense Coordinator and retired rear admiral Yankı Bağcıoğlu made a statement titled "Mecca Agreement" on his social media account.

Bağcıoğlu stated that institutionalization decisions were taken within the scope of the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement signed on August 7, but it was too late to inform the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and said:

"The Secretary General was appointed, work was initiated to establish a possible General Secretariat/core headquarters structure, military and political meetings were held. The agreement operates directly in a regional security crisis.

Despite this, the military and political obligations it may impose on Turkey have not been comprehensively discussed in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. "After the Riyadh meeting, the Turkish Grand National Assembly should be informed in detail without delay, and the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement should be submitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly for approval within the framework of Article 90 of the Constitution."
