Israeli
President Shimon Peres toasts
with Turkey's President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan at a dinner in his honour, Cankaya presidential residence,
Ankara, 12 November 2007
“I
thanked Mr Peres for his efforts to
defeat a bill in the US House of Representatives that defines the
incidents of 1915 from an Armenian perspective. I sincerely hope that
Peres' visit to Ankara will contribute to peace in the Middle East. The
speeches to be delivered by Peres and Palestinian President [sic]
Mahmoud Abbas at the Turkish parliament on Tuesday will contribute to
peace in the Middle East.” [2]
Two months before President Peres’ visit, in an ultimate act
of war,
Israeli jets used Turkey’s airspace to launch a bombing raid
on the
Syrian territory. To this day, Mr Erdogan has remained silent about
this incident.
Turkey’s
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan receives Anti-Defamation League's
(ADL) ‘Courage to Care’ award from ADL’s
director Abraham Foxman at the ADL headquarters, New York, 10 June 2005
In
accepting an award from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on behalf of
[Turkey’s] diplomats who saved Jews during the Holocaust,
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan strongly condemned
anti-Semitism and stressed his country's close relationship with the
modern State of Israel. [6]
On the same day, Mr Erdogan conducted an interview with the New York
Times:
''Turkey cannot in any way approve of oppressive regimes, and at this
point there is nothing Turkey can take as an example from Syria, while
there is lots that Syria can take as examples from Turkey.''
