The interdiction of a container load of Turkish small arms in Yemen last November has finally made the news in Turkey.
Officials in Ankara claim no knowledge of the shipment, which includes thousands of automatic assault rifles.
Weapons of Turkish manufacture confiscated from a Turkish ship in a shipping container originating in Turkey; obviously Ankara would know nothing about it.
But as a NATO member, not to mention a "rising giant," we must once again give our erstwhile ally the benefit of the doubt.
After all, they've been doing a great job facilitating the al-Qaeda/Jabat al-Nusra insurrection in Syria.
