The Dutch government withdrew arms export restrictions against Turkey, more than three years after it tightened sales following Ankara’s military incursion into northern Syria.
The Netherlands said last week that it seeks to join a Franco-German-Spanish treaty on arms export controls that promotes European defense cooperation, which would lift the current limitations on its arms sales to Turkey.
