Even before the parliamentary elections in Turkey in 1983 on November 6, 1983, Sultan ibn Abd al-Aziz was able to admire the quality of Turkish armaments locations: He visited the Tusaş Engine Industries in Eskişehir, the Completely Knocked Down for the Leopard 2 from Krupp in Arifiye and the U- Boat and guided missile destroyer shipyard in Gölcük (Kocaeli) and concluded a Turkish-Saudi investment agreement for the acquisition of armaments by the Saudi regime.
