Four peace and human rights organizations have called for an end to the export of Belgian arms technology to Turkey, and have threatened legal action against the regional governments if no changes are made, The Brussels Times reports.
In a letter to regional authorities, the organizations said that the Turkish air force used Belgian technology during the conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Libya and Syria.
It is stated that Belgian arms companies Asco Industries, Sabca, Sonaca and Safran Aero Boosters have been supplying components for Turkey’s A400M military transport aircraft since 2013.
“These components are used to fuel conflicts in Libya, Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh. The fact that Belgian weapons technology is being used in this process is not only immoral but also illegal,” the organizations argued.
