  Defense firm goes bankrupt due to Canada’s embargo on Turkey for supporting Azerbaijan

Canadian defense firm Telemus Systems Inc. has gone bankrupt due to the North American country’s embargo on Turkey over Azerbaijan’s use of Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones during the Second Karabakh War against Armenian occupiers, Middle East Eye (MEE) said in a report late Wednesday, AzVision.az reports.

According to the report, the embargo imposed by Canada over caused Telemus to lose its main customer, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), ultimately leading to the firm’s bankruptcy.

“Despite the company’s repeated attempts to reach a resolution with Global Affairs Canada, including explaining the material adverse impact on the company’s financial situation and solvency, the company’s Turkish export permits remained suspended,” the MEE cited a KPMG report as saying.

“As a result of the government sanctions, the company was no longer able to generate any revenue."
