Ankara is negotiating entry into the security pact that foresees a joint response to any aggression.

Turkey is looking to join a defense agreement signed between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, potentially creating a new security axis with influence in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa, Bloomberg reports, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The agreement, initially signed in September between Riyadh and Islamabad, stipulates that any aggression against one of the member countries will be considered an attack on all, a formula similar to NATO's Article 5.

According to sources, talks on Turkey's inclusion are at an advanced stage and reaching an agreement is considered possible.

The strategic interests of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are increasingly converging in several key regions, prompting closer cooperation in the security field.

Ankara also sees this agreement as a way to strengthen security and deterrence, at a time when there are uncertainties about the credibility of the United States and US President Donald Trump's commitment to NATO, an alliance of which Turkey is a member.

According to analyst Nihat Ali Ozcan, from the Ankara-based TEPAV research institute, Saudi Arabia would bring financial capacity, Pakistan nuclear capabilities, ballistic missiles and manpower, while Turkey would contribute military experience and a developed defense industry.
