Ankara has announced its support to the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen.
On March 26th morning, a Saudi-led coalition of more than 10 countries began military operations to protect the people of Yemen and their legitimate government from the advancing Houthi militias.
The military intervention, dubbed "Operation Decisive Storm," was carried out at the request of the Yemeni government. Yemen has been gripped by increased turmoil since the Houthi rebels overran the capital, Sana'a, in September.
