Ottoman aviation squadrons were supplied with 22 E.III aircraft.

Most E.IIIs were armed with a single 7.92 mm (.312 in) Spandau LMG 08 machine gun with 500 rounds of ammunition;

The Ottoman Air Force of their Army and Navy during WWI had a wide range of aircraft types from several nations.
Germany:
Fokker
LVG
Gotha
Rumpler
Albatros
Pfalz
Halberstat

France:
Morane-Salnier
Voisin
Nieuport
Caudron

Britain:
Farman
de Havilland
Bristol

Russia:
Grigorovich

So the armament of the types supplied to the Ottomons would be the same as used the by countries they were purchased from.
