Hundreds of people gathered in Ankara on Wednesday, October 21, in a demonstration organized by the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) against the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, warning that the military pact could drag Turkey into Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen.
The agreement, signed on August 7 by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, is awaiting parliamentary ratification. Its provisions stipulate that an armed attack against one signatory would be considered an attack against all three countries.
