French Foreign Minister says Turkish attack in Syria could undermine years of fighting ISIS
Accoeding to Reuters, Italy, the top arms exporter to Turkey last year, said it would join a ban on selling weapons and ammunition to Ankara after a weekend decision by France and Germany to suspend sales, and Spain signalled it was ready to do so.
With a host of other countries including the Netherlands, Finland and Sweden halting such exports, the EU’s collective position was mainly aimed at avoiding a legally-binding embargo on Turkey, a longtime candidate to join the bloc.
A full embargo would have grouped Turkey with Venezuela and Russia, countries where the EU has a formal ban and views them as hostile. Diplomats said ministers were not ready for an embargo despite anger at President Tayyip Erdogan.
“We do not wish to support this war and do not want to make arms available,” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told reporters.
Foreign ministers also agreed to draw up economic sanctions on Ankara over Turkish oil-and-gas drilling near Cyprus, although names will come at a later stage.
The Turkish government said it “fully rejected and condemned” the decisions taken and calls made by the EU on the two issues.
