Pakistan Army spokesman Major Gen Babar Iftikhar made the announcement on 5 January.

“As far as the Turkish deal is concerned, we have moved on,” Iftikhar said during a press conference when asked whether the contract was still intact. He said negotiations were under way with China to procure new Z-10ME attack helicopters.
