– At the moment we are not talking about activating the Mecca Defense Pact due to Houthi attacks.

– The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is very well capable of defending itself, and we are monitoring the situation should things develop.

– If Turkey ever gets involved, it will be in a purely defensive capacity.
