Saudi, Turkish, Pakistani Military Chiefs To Hold Urgent Meeting Over Yemen War
Saudi, Turkish and Pakistani army heads are set to urgent talks on the Yemen crisis. Crucially, these countries represent signatories to the Mecca Defense Pact, which vows mutual defense in the instance that any member is attacked.
