Canada’s government canceled authorizations for the export of drone technology to Turkey on Monday after an investigation found Ankara used Canadian weapons technology in last year’s war between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh.
“Following this review, which found credible evidence that Canadian technology exported to Turkey was used in Nagorno-Karabakh, today I am announcing the cancellation of permits that were suspended in the fall of 2020,” Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau said in a statement.
