Obama 'buddy' Turkish president Gul: "Israel wrong in adopting war rhetoric against Iran".(Ptv).Turkish President Abdullah Gul says only diplomacy can resolve the Western dispute over Iran's nuclear energy program and Tel Aviv’s belligerent language against Tehran is “wrong.” “I'm one of those that believe this has to be resolved diplomatically. All these statements that Israel makes about making war - I think this is wrong,” Gul said during a recent interview with the Foreign Policy magazine. Last November, the Turkish leader had also stressed the importance of developing empathy to understand the reasons behind Iran's determination to proceed with its peaceful nuclear work. “It is important to put oneself in their shoes and see how they perceive threats,” Gul pointed out. Turkey has already hosted two rounds of multifaceted talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1), one in January 2011 and the other on April 14 this year in Istanbul. Both Iran and the P5+1 - Russia, China, France, Britain, the US and Germany - hailed the latest negotiations as constructive and agreed to hold the next round of the talks in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on May 23, 2012. The Islamic Republic and the P5+1 had also held another round of comprehensive talks in Geneva in December 2010. The United States, Israel, and some of their allies accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program. Iran refutes such allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Unlike Iran, Israel is a non-signatory to the NPT and continues to defy international calls to join the treaty. Israel, which is widely believed to possess between 200 to 400 nuclear warheads, maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity over its nuclear work. Meanwhile in Iran Head of parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi in a meeting with Turkey's Ambassador to Iran Umit Yardim here in Tehran on Tuesday. "The common interests of Iran and Turkey in the region require us to bolster and strengthen regional peace and stability through bilateral and multilateral talks and negotiations," Boroujerdi said. As regards NATO missile shield in Turkey, the Iranian lawmaker said, "(Both sides) should avoid the measures that will damage the process of (strengthening) bilateral relations between the two countries." The Turkish ambassador, for his part, said Iran-Turkey relations are of strategic importance to the region. He added that Turkey's political and parliamentary officials stress the necessity of expanding cordial cooperation with Iran in all fields. Yardim said bilateral dialogue and negotiation will strengthen the understanding between the two countries and build mutual trust.Hmmmm.......The Turks with whom Obama has a 'relation of trust'........what else did they agree on with Iran?Read the full story here.
