Turkey restores military ties with France

14:47 • 27.06.12



Turkey has agreed to restore all military ties with France, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said, and a senior procurement official said that the restored relations covers all arms deals between the two countries, The Defense News reports.

 

The deal effectively means that Eurosam, the European missile maker whose members include major French companies, may compete for Turkey’s Long-Range Air and Missile Defense Systems (Loramids) contract, worth about $4 billion.

 

Eurosam had never been officially excluded from that competition, but the earlier legislation made it unlikely the European missile would be selected.

 

Ankara canceled all economic, political and military meetings with Paris in December after France’s lower house of parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of a draft law to make it illegal to deny that the Armenian Genocide.
