Canada indefinitely extended a ban on arms sales to Nato ally Turkey last week, baffling Turkish officials who did not see it coming.

In a statement on 16 April, the Canadian government said that the temporary suspension of the export of controlled goods and tech to Turkey will continue “until further notice”.

Ottawa initially imposed the embargo in response to Turkey’s military incursion into Syria last autumn. While the Canadian government would permit some exports following a case-by-case review, applications for military items would be denied.
