Garmin company to take appropriate action against its products being used in Turkish Bayraktar drones
American multinational technology company Garmin has responded to the concerns over the use of its products in Turkish Bayraktar drones used by Azerbaijan in attacking Armenian civilians.
“It has been brought to Garmin’s attention that one of our products has been incorporated into drones that are being used in Bayraktar UAVs to kill innocent civilians in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh). We condemn this violence in the strongest terms, and we are heartbroken for the loved ones of those who have been killed,” the company said in a statement shared by ANCA on Facebook on Wednesday.
“The Garmin product used in these drones is a commercial, non-military product that is widely available for purchase. It is not designed or intended for military use, and it is not even designed or intended for use in drones. We are investigating how our products ended up in these drones, and we will take appropriate action following our investigation to guard against our equipment being used again in this manner. We want to thank all those who brought this to our attention,” the statement read.
