ANKARA, 17 March, 2021, (TON): Turkish President Erdogan said on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia needs to purchase military drones from Turkey. The occurrence is relied upon to divulge another measurement to the relationship between the two adversary territorial forces.

Relations between Ankara and Riyadh have been strained since the 2016 assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Saudi Arabia's call for an unofficial boycott of Turkish goods has already strained bilateral trade, although both countries have said they will work to improve relations.

Speaking on Tuesday, Erdogan expressed dissatisfaction with Saudi Arabia's decision to conduct joint air drills with Turkey's long-time rival Greece.

"Saudi Arabia is conducting joint exercises with Greece and at the same time wants to buy military drones from us," he said. Our hope is a peaceful solution to this issue. "

Turkey has arisen as one of the world's driving makers of military drones. These drones assisted Turkey with unifying Azerbaijan in a six-week battle with Armenia over the contested Nagorno-Karabakh locale a year ago.
