11 March 2010 / THE ANATOLIA NEWS AGENCY, ANKARA
Turkey has expressed concern over Israel's plans to build 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem.

In a statement, Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that such plans caused serious doubts about Israeli stance and intention at a time Palestine and Israel have recently agreed to resume indirect talks.

Mutual trust is needed more than ever, the statement said, urging Israel to review its decision.

Turkey also called on Israel to avoid steps that could change the situation in Jerusalem and bring the peace process to a halt.
