Key Questions Answered

Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia—collectively known as the R4 group—jointly condemned the Houthi attacks on Riyadh's international airport, labeling them a dangerous escalation.

Turkey is providing mainly defensive and technical support to Riyadh and is assessing further assistance, though Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has ruled out troop deployment and direct offensive operations.

Turkey and Pakistan signed a joint defense pact with Saudi Arabia in August stipulating that an attack on one party constitutes an attack on all, and the agreement is expected to be submitted to the Turkish parliament for official ratification in the coming days.
