Jordan refuses participation in Turkish-Israeli maneuvers

The Jordanian paper al-Masa'yeah quoted Jordanian official sources as saying that the Jordanian government has refused to participate, even symbolically, in Turkish-Israeli maneuvers to be held in the last third of July.

The paper added that the military committee which supervises these maneuvers has closed its files without receiving a Jordanian answer concerning the invitation extended to Amman three months earlier, a matter which means in "diplomatic norms" an unannounced refusal to take part SANA quoted MENA as reporting.
