Turkey’s national security council removes Iran, Syria from list of threats to state, adds Israel, local media reported. Document says Israeli actions may prompt Middle East arms race
The Turkish national security council recently designated Israel as a “major threat” in a document known as the “red book,” which lists threats to Turkey, local media reported.
The council decided to remove Syria, Bulgaria, Georgia and Armenia from the list of threats. Greece, however, is still considered a threat, whereas Iran was also removed from the list.
This is the first time Turkey has designated Israeli activity in the Middle East as a threat.
