[The Jerusalem Post]Turkey: Not insisting on mediator role
2 January 2010 / ,
Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Burak Özügergin said that “everyone knows” why the indirect talks broke down last year, apparently referring to the IDF’s Operation Cast Lead in Gaza last winter, and said “contradictory” statements on Turkey’s possible role were bring issued from Israel.
“We are not insisting on being a mediator no matter what,” he said. “But this is something which matters to our region and we always say that we will do our best. “The spokesman was responding to remarks made by Foreign Ministry Avigdor Lieberman, who said Sunday that he was opposed to Turkish mediation in Israel-Syria peace negotiations. Özügergin confirmed that Defense Minister Ehud Barak would visit Turkey in the near future.
