Turkey Slams Canada for Suspending Exports of Combat Drone Tech to Ankara Amid Karabakh Conflict - Sputnik International

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has berated Canada for Ottawa suspending arms exports to Ankara amid a probe into the use of Canadian technology in the ongoing conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.

    "Our expectation from Canada, is to lead a policy that stays away from double standards, to act without falling under the influence of anti-Turkish groups in the country and without being trapped by narrow political interests", the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday, in an apparent nod to current Turkish-Canadian military cooperation agreements.

According to the statement, Canada is creating obstacles related to the export of military equipment to Turkey "in a way that does not comply with the spirit of alliance".
