Turkey, Israel won’t break off diplomatic relations

It’s unbelievable that 7-million Israel, which constantly receives threats from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Iran’s President and Al Qaeda can attack 72-million Turkey, deputy editor-in-chief of IzRus portal Alexander Goldenshtein said when commenting on inclusion of Israel in Turkey’s list of ‘dangerous’ countries.

“What is the Israeli threat? The fact is that Israel is the most developed country in the region whose position can’t be neglected. Now, Ankara is irritated that Israel improves relations with Azerbaijan and Greece,” he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

However, according to Goldenshtein, Turkey and Israel will not break off diplomatic relations.

“Rupture of relations after 60 years of friendship would be a severe blow for both countries and Ankara knows this,” he said.
