/PanARMENIAN.Net/ National interests should be a priority, Turkish
Brig. Gen. Metin Gurak said when commenting on yesterday's incident
at Davos panel.
Gurak also said there is no problem with deliveries of Israel-produced
Heron unmanned aerial vehicles.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan walked off the stage after
an angry exchange with the Israeli president, Shimon Peres, during
a panel discussion on Gaza at the World Economic Forum on Thursday,
and vowed never to return to the annual gathering.
Turkey is still using Israeli-made equipment in its fight against the
terrorist PKK organization, including the unmanned aerial vehicles
called Heron. Trade between the two countries has reached nearly $3
billion with increased investment by both countries' companies.
Gurak also responded a question on possibility of sending Peace Forces
to Gaza after permanent ceasefire is brokered. "There are no concrete
developments regarding the issue. When the time comes, if the related
parties reach a consensus, the possibility of engaging Turkish soldiers
in an international monitoring group could be considered," he said,
the state-run Anatolian Agency reported.
