Canada is halting defense exports to Turkey over the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, Justin Trudeau’s top diplomat said.
Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau announced Monday that Canada will no longer sell military goods and technology to its North Atlantic Treaty Organization ally. The decision comes after a review of allegations Canadian-made military technology was used by Azerbaijan in the Nargorno-Karabakh conflict with Armenia.
