Erdogan: Turkey may provide "logistical support" to Saudi-led operation

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told France 24 channel that his country backs the Saudi-led military operation in Yemen.

“We support Saudi Arabia’s intervention,” he said. “Turkey may consider providing logistical support based on the evolution of the situation.”

Erdogan also called on the Houthis and to cede power in Yemen.

Meanwhile, Iranian ambassador in Kuwait Ali Reza Enayati said that his country rejected the military operation, and that it will only serve to further complicate matters in the Arab world.

Enayati said that the Arab coalition air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen would have a “negative effect on the region.”
