PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told
U.S. President Barack Obama that his government "acted as Israel's
lawyer," according to Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
Hurriyet Daily News reports that Davutoglu addressed deputies from the
ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) during the party's gathering
in the hot springs retreat of Kızılcahamam near the capital Ankara.
The Turkish FM said Obama had phoned Erdogan 11 times during the last
nine months and a brief encounter took place during one of their
conversations, when Obama complained about Turkey's role in Iran's
uranium swap deal, asking why Erdogan protected Iran.
As Davutoglu said, Erdogan responded, "I do not protect Iran, but you
[the United States] act as Israel's lawyer."
