Israeli envoy sees better relations in future
29 January 2010 / TODAY'S ZAMAN WITH WIRES, İSTANBUL
The top Israeli diplomat in Turkey has said relations between Turkey and Israel are based on a solid foundation and that he sees better ties in the future.
Israeli Ambassador to Turkey Gabby Levy said relations have been going through a tough period recently. However, he expressed his belief that the two countries would overcome their disagreements. Ties were strained after Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon’s ill-treatment of Turkish Ambassador in Tel Aviv Ahmet Oğuz Çelikkol. Ayalon, who summoned Çelikkol to express Israel’s uneasiness over a Turkish TV series showing Israeli agents kidnapping a child, had Çelikkol sit at a lower armchair in front of a table with only the Israeli flag on it. Levy said misunderstandings and disagreements might arise even between the best of friends.
