That's not consistent, sir, with the memorandum for action approved and signed on behalf of the deputy minister of Foreign Affairs on September 2, which recommends approval of a blacked-out number of applications for permits and which talks about the various precedents referred to in the May 2 memorandum, noting that the Turkish-built drones using L3Harris Wescam optical systems were the key to the Turkish air campaign in the Syrian region.
There is also a reference to how, since that approval was granted back in 2013, we have included the L3Harris export permits application, which are listed in annex A. Since that approval was granted, Turkey has continued its military engagement in Syria, Iraq and Libya, and it took a strong stance in favour of Azerbaijan during recent fighting. It also suggests other activities in the Mediterranean, all of which could increase the risk of the drones being used in conflict, so I'm a little concerned about your saying that you had no knowledge, (a) that there were Wescam sensors in these drones, and (b) that this activity was likely to lead to the use of these drones in conflict.
