  • Turkey requisitions respirators paid for by Spain, assembled by Turkish company using parts supplied by Spanish Government

    https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-n...been-paid-for/
    Spain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha Gonzalez Laya, admitted yesterday that the Turkish Government has decided to keep the hundreds of respirators for ‘treatment of their own patients.’

    The 50-year-old explained that in recent days Ankara has imposed restrictions on the export of medical devices, in order to ‘supply its own health system against the pandemic.’

    The issue is that the requisitioned cargo had been manufactured in Turkey on behalf of a Spanish company that had bought components from China.

    The equipment was paid for by the Ministry of Health and also by the autonomous governments of Castilla-La Mancha and Navarra.
    "The only security we have is our ability to adapt."
