[The Jerusalem Post] ‘Jerusalem-Ankara ties will stay strong’
|
|
Following the recent slump in Jerusalem-Ankara relations caused by last week's cancellation of a joint military drill and Tuesday's airing of an anti-Israeli drama on a government-controlled TV channel, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç downplayed the apparent tensions.

|
"Relations between Israel and Turkey have always been strong, and we're entirely sure that they will remain strong," Arınç told local reporters on Friday." Referring to the TV drama Ayrılık -- which variously depicted IDF soldiers shooting a fleeing Palestinian boy in the back, killing a sweetly smiling Palestinian girl at point-blank range and lining up Palestinian detainees before an IDF firing squad –- Arınç said that "there are no political motives to the television drama that annoyed Israel."
