IRAN SERIOUSLY CONCERNED AT TURKEY-ISRAEL MILITARY TIES

Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi met Monday with Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit behind closed doors and told him about Iranian "serious concerns" over growing military and security arrangements between Turkey and Israel.

Though officials reported the two men discussed bilateral economic, trade relations and security co-operation, but Iranian diplomatic sources said Mr. Kharrazi "conveyed" to the Turkish premier Iran's "objections" to Turkey's military ties with the Zionist (Israel) regime.

Iran, which does not recognise Israel's right to exist, has strongly criticised military and security co-operation between Turkey and the Jewish state, describing it as a source of "great threat" to Iran's and the region's security and stability.

Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit repeated Monday that despite Turkey's warnings to the Islamic Republic, some "terrorists" belonging to the outlawed Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) that fights for the creation of a separate Kurdish State were still being sheltered in Iran.

Iranian delegation visits Ankara with a warning and bid for information on Israeli air force’s Sept. 6 attack in Syria
Guess Iran wants to know where Turkey stands and US and Israel wants to know where the Nato ally stands too

2. HUH?
Maybe Turkey's trying to talk Israel out of joint ventures with the Kurds? How very interesting.

3. I don't think Israel would do anything to jeapordize its relationship with Turkey
Supporting the Kurds would certainly be something the avoid in that context.

Ecevit was prime minister of Turkey only until 2002. He died in 2006.
