Single source · Turkey, Turkey · 2026-11-05 21:09 UTC

Hulusi Akar, chairman of Turkey's parliamentary National Defense Commission, is reported to say the pact complements rather than replaces Turkey's NATO membership and that any deployment of Turkish troops abroad would need parliamentary authorization. He is also quoted warning that 'the footsteps of war are real.' Only one Telegram post relays these remarks, and no official source has confirmed them.
