Ethiopia pursues military ties with Turkey


ADDIS ABABA - Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi on Wednesday sought to strengthen military ties with Turkey after agreeing on a raft of cooperation deals with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Aware of the implications of this military move, Meles, whose nation is locked in a strained peace process with Eritrea after their 1998-2000 border war, said Addis Ababa would not resort to an arms-buying spree.

"We have defence industries here in Ethiopia ... the cooperation in this area is something that we are looking into," Meles told a press conference, flanked by Erdogan.

Industry Skeptical of Turkish ProposalBY BURAK EGE BEKDIL, ANKARA

Many Turkish industry leaders and analysts are unnerved by the government’s plan to consolidate the country’s biggest defense companies.

The plan would create a government-owned entity to be given majority stakes in large government-owned firms, including Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI); the software company Havelsan; missile maker Roketsan; ammunition supplier MKEK; and military electronics manufacturer Aselsan, the country’s largest defense concern.

Murad Bayar, Turkey’s chief procurement official, described the plan to the National Security Council on Feb. 25, a senior government official said.



“Government and military leaders in principle have given their go-ahead for the plan,” the official said.

Ältere Meldung aber trotzdem interessant.

TCG, Yonca-Onuk Cooperation Matures

In the light of the performance of the previously procured Onuk MRTP 15 [Kaan 15 Class] and MRTP 29 [Kaan 29 Class] Coast Guard Boats, the Defence Industry Undersecretariat [SSM] has awarded Yonca-Onuk with a contract for the procurement of 12 MRTP-33 Coast Guard Boats to meet the comprehensive requirements of Turkish Coast Guard Command [TCGC]. The contract was signed following the decision of the Defence Industry Executive Committee [DIEC] dated May 14, '04. Valued at US$64 million, the contract covers the construction of a further 12 boats [numbered 11-22] to the 10 procured between '00-'03. The project will be realised in three stages, each consisting of four boats.
A protocol covering the construction of the first four boats was signed on May 26 at the SSM Headquarters. The first boat is scheduled for delivery to the TCGC in 13 months, which covers a period of five months for the order lead-times of the subsystems and all the trials. The deliveries will then continue with one boat every two-and-a-half months for the remaining three. The projected local content share in the project is around 50%.
