NEWS CENTER - Finland approved the sale of unmanned aerial vehicles to Turkey, and today it announced it is stopping selling weapons after the invasion of Northern and Eastern Syria.

 
Finnish Defense Minister Antti Kaikkonen said on Twitter: “The situation is severe. Regarding my area of ??responsibility, I would say this: Finland does not export defense materials to warring countries or countries that violate human rights.
