Dollar falls 3% in Iran as nuclear talks with US conclude in Oman
4 hours ago
Turkey has been holding technical talks with Israel concerning the de-escalation of any conflict in Syria when needed, Reuters on April 9 quoted Turkey Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan as saying.
“There needs to be a deconfliction mechanism with Israel, which flies over Syria, similar to mechanisms we have with the US and Russia,” the minister has told during a televised interview on pro-government CNN Turk, a unit of Demiroren Holding.
Technical talks with Israel are solely for deconfliction in Syria and do not aim at normalising relations, according to the minister.
Recently Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attempted to take over a military airport in Syria. Getting wind of the move, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu had it bombed into the ground.
On April 4, Fidan said: “We don't want to see any confrontation with Israel in Syria.”
On April 5, Netanyahu’s office said that Israel-Turkey relations would be on the White House agenda for discussions with Donald Trump.
On April 7, Netanyahu said during a press meeting in the Oval Office: “We discussed how we can avoid this conflict [with Turkey] in a variety of ways, and I think we can’t have a better interlocutor than the president of the United States for this purpose.”
