Turkish National Defense Ministry stated that Mechanical & Chemical Industry Corp. (MKEK) did not sell any of the weapons, ammunitions and other equipments it produced to Iran.

The ministry commented on the news published by Wikileaks website claiming that MKEK sold weapons to Iran, and stated that MKEK had to receive a written permit from National Defense Ministry before it made an export to foreign countries.

If MKEK does not receive this permit, products cannot cross the customs gate, stated the ministry.

”MKEK did not sell any of the weapons, ammunitions and other equipments it produced to Iran, thus, the news Wikileaks published were groundless,” according to the ministry.

International non-profit media organization, Wikileaks has recently leaked out classified U.S. State Department documents, World Bulletin reported.
