Turkey annual defense Budget is approximately $18.2 billion (2016). Turkey has more modern weapons from Pakistan which comes from Nato and USA but Pakistan is the only Muslim state who possess nuclear weapons that’s why Pakistan is more powerful then Turkey in my review,Although Turkey had signed an agreement with Nato to never make nuclear weapons. But no one can compare these two nations because both nations show their love and peace to each other.
