Germany to develop military cooperation with Turkey

April 29, 2009 - 19:41 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Germany and Turkey intent to intensify cooperation in armament sphere. A framework agreement was signed between countries' representatives during International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF) in Istanbul.

According to AFP agency, the agreement stipulates for regular meetings and implementations of joint projects in armament sphere



German opposition representatives took a swipe at policy pursued by ruling coalition. "Government demonstrated its neglect towards its own principles by signing an agreement with Turkey," German legislator Norman Paech stated. According to him, while German Minister of Foreign Affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier preached on the necessity to cut armament expenditures, coalition announced about its intention to cooperate with Turkey in the very same field.



International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF) is Turkey's defense industry fair organized by Turkish Armed Forces Foundation. The Foundation organizes IDEF on odd years and before each fair it chooses the organizer firm by calling a tender. This year, Germany will feature production of 15 defense technology and armaments manufacturers.
