Turkey Reportedly Delays Ratification of Mecca Defense Pact Until October Turkey is expected to submit the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement to parliament for approval in October, according to a Turkish official cited in a report published Tuesday. The agreement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan establishes a collective-defense framework under which an armed attack against one member is considered an attack against all three. The reported timetable comes as Saudi Arabia faces intensified Houthi missile and drone attacks. Apparently, the “attack on one is an attack on all” part comes with a parliamentary waiting period.
