The ANCA today called on R. Clarke Cooper, Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs, to suspend all drone-related and other military or dual use equipment or technology sales to Turkey, due to Ankara’s active participation in Azerbaijan's war against Artsakh and Armenia. “Armenpress” learnt about from the Committee.
In particular, the letter calls for an immediate cessation of any sale of dual-use equipment or technology – both direct and through third party countries – to Turkey, due to Ankara’s active participation in Azerbaijan's war against Artsakh and Armenia. "This suspension, should in particular, cover the sale, transfer, or third party transfer of drone sensors".
In light of the ongoing Turkish-backed Azerbaijani aggression targeting Armenians – including American citizens residing in Armenia and Artsakh the Armenian National Committee also asked that the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs provide a public accounting of any past, current or planned military sales of drone or drone-related equipment or technology to Turkey or Azerbaijan.
