Turkey says it will not send troops to confront Yemen's Houthis

Turkey's foreign minister on Thursday ruled out sending troops to confront Yemen's Houthi forces, despite a defense pact with Saudi Arabia.

"This is a defense agreement," said Hakan Fidan. "This is not an offensive agreement. That is, Turkey will not send its troops to another country's territory to launch an attack."
