The advisor to the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accused the “Arab coalition” led by Saudi Arabia of preventing legitimacy from “defeating and completely defeating the Houthi group.”
Yassin Aktay said, in an article published in the Turkish newspaper Yeni Shafak today, that "accurate information from the battlefield confirms that whenever the legitimate Yemeni forces try to confront the Houthi group on their own, they find no obstacle in front of them except for the coalition forces themselves, no one else."
He considered that "the coalition forces deliberately refuse to provide the legitimate government forces in Yemen with specific weapons that would create an advantage over the Houthi forces, indicating that there is a clear will to continue the state of chaos and instability in Yemen."
He said, “With the passage of 6 years, we find that the civil war in Yemen has increased in complexity and has become more difficult,” saying: “The most tragic aspect of the matter is that those who intervened in Yemen as saviors were acting according to a wrong approach from the ground up.”
He added, “On the other hand, one cannot try to explain the inability to defeat them by saying the inefficiency or inability of the coalition forces. Whereas, the military and material power possessed by the coalition forces, in addition to the standing of the noble Yemeni people who relied on them to support them in the field, all this constitutes a force that can defeat the Houthi group in a short time and at the lowest costs.
Concluding that the reason is the coalition and its goals, he said: “From the beginning of the crisis until now, (there is) the countless number of times that coalition forces have prevented and hindered the Yemenis from defeating the Houthi group.”
