Turkey: Israel is mistaken

The Turkish daily al-Sabah said yesterday that Turkey has informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu through its ambassador in Israel that he is mistaken in his belief that the Turkish-Israeli military cooperation may constitute a security framework in the region. The paper added that Turkey told Israel that it has first to reach peace with its neighbors. It added, then it will be possible for the countries of the region to form a security framework. The paper went on that countries of the Middle East will avoid the formation of such framework before conditions for establishing peace are provided.
