/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the secret part of their talks in Tehran on
Oct. 28, Turkish prime minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan and Iranian
president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were reported to strike military
cooperation deals which promised Iran Turkish military intelligence
and air force assistance against a possible Israeli attack on its
nuclear sites, DEBKA reported.

Their understandings have bound Turkish to pass intelligence data
to Tehran on potential Israeli preparations for a strike and on US
military movements in the Middle East for providing backup. Our sources
report that the details finalized in meetings between the Turkish and
Iranian military specialists in Istanbul Monday, Nov. 9, were due to be
sealed by presidents Abdullah Gul and Ahmadinejad Tuesday. The Iranian
president is to be in Turkey as guest of the Islamic Conference.

The Turkish prime minister has not only buried his country’s
longstanding military and intelligence ties with Israel but climbed
aboard the adversarial axis confronting the Jewish state. Turkey has
agreed to round out the forward surveillance outposts encircling
Israel’s borders: Hamas from the southwest in Gaza, Syria in the
east, Lebanon in the north and now Turkey from the northwest. Tehran
is banking on this encirclement for early warning of an approaching
Israeli strike and any supportive American movements.

According to Western intelligence sources in Ankara, heads of the
Turkish army objected to their government’s strategic turn to Iran and
the cutoff of its ties with Israel. However its pro-Islamic leaders,
which have gradually eased the army out of policymaking, have forced
them to accept operational ties with the military of an anti-Western
Middle Eastern nation as being in the nation’s best interests.

Erdogan’s most compelling argument is that President Barack Obama’s
secret proposal for Iran to deposit 400 kilos of its enriched Iran
in Turkey for safekeeping in charge of International Atomic Energy
Agency inspectors, had elevated Turkey to an enhanced role as a
broker between the US and Iran, sanctioned by Agency director Mohamed
ElBaradei. If Turkey, a member of NATO, was able to gain the Iranian
regime’s trust, the Turkish prime minister maintained, it was only
thanks to the military understandings he reached in Tehran.

Military sources report that word of the Turkish-Iranian military
collaboration deal landed with shocking effect in Washington and
Jerusalem. They had not forewarned by their intelligence services
that Erdogan was willing to go as far as this to ally Turkey with
the Islamic regime,

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
