    REPORT: ISRAEL WIRETAPS CONVERSATIONS DURING TURKISH MILITARY TRAINING FLIGHTS

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Israel has wiretapped conversations between Turkish
    pilots on military training flights, a Turkish news report said on
    Wednesday, May 2, prompting Turkish authorities to initiate a program
    to encrypt conversations during these flights.

    Israel wiretapped the conversations among pilots of Turkish fighter
    jets during their training flights at the Konya 3rd Main Jet Base
    Command, apparently in a spying mission aimed at finding out details
    about the Turkish Air Forces' (THK) training programs and flight
    strategies, the report published in the Haberturk daily said.

    Acting on this piece of intelligence, the THK has initiated a project
    to encrypt the communication between the fighter jets. Turkish
    engineers are currently working to develop a software system for
    encoding.

    In Konya, the young aviators are undergoing initial training before
    passing on to comprehensive combat readiness training, which is a final
    training phase to become an F-16 fighter pilot, Today's Zaman reports.

    Relations between Israel and Turkey, once close regional allies,
    worsened after Israel's deadly raid on the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara.

    Until 2010, there were 16 agreements in effect between Turkey and
    Israel regarding military issues, including cooperation and the mutual
    training of troops.
