“We want the EU to discuss the cessation of Turkish arms exports at the European level. In addition, other options will probably remain open, depending on how Turkey will act in the future, ”TASS quoted the head of the German Foreign Ministry as saying.
Maas said earlier that the German government will not issue permits for new arms supplies to Turkey due to a military offensive in Syria.
In addition, AFP, citing a statement by the French government, said the country had decided to suspend all arms shipments to Turkey due to Ankara’s military operation in Syria.
