Re-Welfare Party's Doğan Bekin calls for 'rejection of the motion': 'The Mecca Alliance was established to protect Israel'

Re-Welfare Party Istanbul Deputy and European Union Harmonization Commission Member Doğan Bekin reacted to the official statements that Turkey would provide military support to Saudi Arabia at the press conference he held in the Turkish Grand National Assembly.

Bekin; He argued that Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia coming together with US support and signing the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement and then turning to policies targeting the Houthis in Yemen in the name of protecting Saudi Arabia would put the Middle East in a more fragile situation.

"THE ALLIANCE ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT ISRAEL'S INTERESTS"

In his assessment of the agreement, Bekin said, "Undoubtedly, this alliance, established under the guidance of the USA to protect Israel's interests, will not only deepen the regional chaos but also cause the problem to spread to a wider area."

Bekin stated that the regional security and military cooperation pact aimed at collective defense, which was previously brought to the agenda after the Riyadh Summit in 2017 and officially announced as the "Middle East Strategic Alliance" by the US administration in 2018, could not be implemented, and reminded that this initiative was referred to as the "Arab NATO".

Bekin argued that the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, signed between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan on August 7, 2026, was created instead of the "Arab NATO" that was planned to be implemented in the past, and argued that the agreement was a "Zionist move" aimed at triggering sectarian division among Muslims.

Bekin also evaluated US President Donald Trump's expression of satisfaction with Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signing the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement and stated that this was "extremely meaningful".

"IT MAY CAUSE NEW POLARIZATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST"

Stating that the agreement, which he claims is aimed at preventing the strategic rapprochement between Iran and Yemen, may cause new polarizations in the Middle East, Bekin said, "It is certain that this geostrategic move is an extremely dangerous step that may cause new polarizations in the Middle East."

Stating that the agreement in question is expected to be submitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly for approval in a short time in order to officially come into force, Bekin compared the agreement with the Iraqi memorandum that was discussed and rejected in the Turkish Grand National Assembly General Assembly on March 1, 2003.

"THE MILL SHOULD BE REJECTED"

Bekin reminded that the memorandum in question was "the Prime Ministry's memorandum regarding the sending of the Turkish Armed Forces to foreign countries and authorizing the Government to have foreign armed forces in Turkey" and argued that the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement was very similar to this memorandum.

Bekin continued his evaluation with the following words:

"In other words, the rejection of the vitally important motion in question by the Supreme Assembly within the framework of Turkey's neutrality policy is a requirement of historical responsibility."
