Erdogan Urges NATO Allies to End Arms Embargoes on Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on NATO allies to end arms embargoes on his country after a summit meeting of bloc leaders, pointing to Ukraine’s successful use of Turkish-made drones in its war with Russia.

Ankara has complained for years about western partners including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany and France refusing to provide missile-defense systems as well as critical equipment such as engines for tanks, warplanes, drones and helicopters developed by Turkish companies.
