It seems to me that they are not unfair:
"The first report of gun shipments from Turkey to Yemen was in March, when UAE police said it seized 16,000 Turkish-made guns destined for Yemen. Immediately, there was talk that Turkey was supporting the rebels in Yemen, and our foreign ministry had to ban weapons exports to Yemen.

But history repeated itself and eight months later, another shipment of
weapons has arrived in Yemen from Turkey. The ship carrying the container with
biscuit crates full of guns made a stopover in the Saudi port of Jeddah. Turkish
officials suggested the guns might have been loaded there. But documents showed
that the container wasn’t opened at Jeddah, which means they were loaded at the
Turkish port of Mersin."
