Türkiye condemns Houthi threat against Saudi Arabia
Türkiye on July 22 condemned threats by Yemen’s Houthi group to impose a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, reaffirming its solidarity with Riyadh and warning against further regional escalation.
“We condemn the Houthi threats to impose a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia and once again reaffirm our solidarity with Saudi Arabia,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry called for an immediate end to actions and threats that jeopardize maritime security and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, saying they also threaten shipping and global trade.
Ankara also urged all parties to refrain from steps that could further heighten tensions in the region.
