土耳其、沙特阿拉伯和巴基斯坦三国领导人周五在沙特麦加签署《麦加联合防卫协议》[1]。根据协议条款，对任何一国的攻击将被视为对三个签署国的攻击[1]。该协议建立了定期部长级和军事首脑会议机制，并将秘书处设立在沙特阿拉伯[1]。
土耳其外长哈坎·菲丹周六澄清，这项协议并非针对伊朗或任何其他特定国家，而是为了促进地区稳定[1]。菲丹表示"我们没有任何书面定义共同威胁的内容"，强调"不攻击我们的国家不是我们的目标"[1]。他指出该协议的防卫条款"技术上与北约第5条相同"[1]。根据协议框架，三国将在情报共享、后勤支持或军事部队部署等领域开展合作[1]。此外，土耳其还将埃及描述为"自然伙伴"，预期该国在"下一阶段"参与其中[1]。
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement on Friday in Mecca, with the leaders of the three nations agreeing that an attack on one would be considered an attack on all three.[1] Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan clarified on Saturday that the agreement does not target Iran or any specific country, but rather aims to promote regional stability.[1]
The pact establishes a mechanism for regular ministerial and military leadership meetings, with the secretariat to be based in Saudi Arabia.[1] According to Fidan, the agreement covers intelligence sharing, logistical support, and military troop deployment.[1] The Turkish foreign minister noted that the core clause is "technically the same" as NATO's Article 5, while emphasizing that the three nations have "not written down any definition of what constitutes a common threat" and stated that "we are not targeting countries that do not attack our nations."[1] Egypt has been described as a "natural partner" expected to participate in the "next phase" of the agreement.[1]
