Turkish FM: We would never cooperate with Israel against a Muslim country!

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu categorically denied claims that his country cooperated with Israeli regime in Thursday’s attack on a Syrian missile base, saying Turkey would never help the Jewish state against a Muslim country.“There is an attempt to give the impression that Turkey has coordinated with Israel,” the Hurriyet Daily News quoted him Saturday as saying at a press conference with visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.“We have issues with Syria, an issue based on a principle. But let me say it clearly: The Turkish government has never cooperated with Israel against any Muslim country, and it never will,” he said. According to activists, the claims of Davutoglu is very ridiculous because what we are seeing in Syria is very different from the saying of Davutoglu.Davutoglu characterized the reports as “black propaganda.”“Those [reports] are attempts to cast a shadow on the Syrian people’s rightful struggle and Turkey’s attitude with principles,” he said. “It is out of the question for us to participate in any common operation.”/129
