Safavi: Turkey maintains relations with Israel behind the scene
Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the military advisor of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has doubted the tensed Turkish-Israeli relations describing it as a political gesture, writes “National Turk” paper.
“Turkey’s gestures and stance against Israel are merely a facade, it has only political and strategic purposes and the Turks have maintained their relations with Israeli government behind the scene,” stated Safavi.
Israeli-Turkish relations have been tensed since the Gaza flotilla raids. Israel refuses to apology for the incident and to pay compensation to the families of the victims.
