Turkish Foreign Ministry denied the news claiming that illegal arms shipment was made from Turkey to Yemen by vessels, Anadolu Agency reported.
Ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal said on Monday that Turkey did not give permission for such a shipment, adding that the mentioned cargo was sent by a Turkish company and submitted as biscuits in the customs.
The news claimed that 3,000 guns, automatic weapons and silencers have been found in a cargo --which was sent from Turkey by a ship to Port of Aden in Yemen-- and that Turkey was transferring illegal weapons secretly to Yemen.
All related institutions and offices are carrying out an investigation on the issue, said Unal and denied the news claiming Turkey was sending weapons to Yemen.
