Disagree. "Export license" in that sense is given to the companies by German government to allow the export of the aircraft, tech, munitions etc. Not an export license to Turkey. There's nothing to circumvent there, there's no Eurofighter without the work of German companies. No production line can work without work from other countries, no one member of the consortium can just say fuck it and build it themselves, they have to share.
There is fine line here.
export licence vs parallel export licence.

If you listen to the video, he says to overcome outright export licence a parallel export licence will be utilised. There is supposed to be a signing ceremony on 24th between Tusas and Airbus.
According to that video, my understanding is that, Airbus Germany, Airbus Spain, BAE Systems and Leonardo will be manufacturing with TUSAŞ being involved in part assembly lines etc. in Turkey.

But both require Germany to provide the said export licenses for those companies to share it with Turkey. What's the point, what is stopping from the German government from providing the export license for the first one but not the second one?

One is licence for direct sale of planes,
The other is co production licence with 3 other members in Turkey.

There must be some legal back door, that would enable to bypass the first export licence situation.

We will find out on 24th if it is true.

STATEMENT ON THE MEETING OF THE DEFENCE MINISTERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TÜRKİYE AND THE UNITED KINGDOM

The Defence Ministers of the Republic of Türkiye and United Kingdom welcomed the opportunity to meet at the 17th International Defence Industry Fair in Istanbul today and reaffirmed the strength of the Türkiye-UK partnership. They underscored the importance of the two countries’ longstanding defence cooperation, including collaboration through NATO and growing ties in defence industry and security. Both Ministers committed to deepening this strategic partnership in support of the Alliance’s collective deterrence.

The two nations continue to make excellent progress on the export of Eurofighter Typhoon. Welcoming Türkiye as a Typhoon operator would build on the bonds of friendship developed over many decades between key NATO Allies and would be a significant step towards enhancing Türkiye’s advanced combat air capabilities. This will mark the start of a new chapter in the Türkiye-UK partnership, working together to strengthen capability collaboration and supporting both countries' defence industries through the reciprocal purchase of word-leading equipment.

The Defence Ministers have today jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding. This document codifies the relationship between the countries, taking them one step closer to a full agreement on Typhoon. Both Ministers welcome signature as a positive step towards bringing Türkiye into the Typhoon club and share a mutual ambition to conclude the necessary arrangements as soon as possible.
