House Partially Lifts Turkish Arms Embargo
The House approved a partial lift of the arms embargo on Turkey by a 237 to 176 vote and sent the measure to the Senate which had approved it 47 to 46 earlier. It allows shipments of arms paid for before the embargo and only for NATO needs, not Cyprus forces, and enables Turkey to buy militarily in the U.S. while broader sales and credits hinge on a future aid bill. The White House argues the move preserves NATO security and intelligence in the eastern Mediterranean.
