Turkey's Defense Ministry denied claims regarding REPKON's US unit, Repkon USA, being involved in munitions sales to Israel. A US State Department notification detailed a $151.8 million sale that included munitions linked to Repkon USA.
The ministry clarified that defense contractors abroad operate under local laws and reiterated that REPKON's operations in Turkey are governed by national regulations on arms production. This scrutiny coincides with reports of increased Israeli imports of Azerbaijani crude via Turkey, raising questions about Turkey's trade policies amid regional conflicts.
