Turkey: Between the Iranian-Syrian Axis, Israel, and the West

November 20, 2007 |Aydan Kodaloglu

Three hours after the September 6 incident involving Israel and Syria, the Iranian government sent a warning to Turkey saying that if it was involved in support of Israel and the U.S., Turkey would not get away unscathed. Iran is not exporting its Shi’ism into Turkey, but it is exporting radical Islam into Turkey, feeding it to the Sunni population. In 1999 after a major earthquake in Turkey, Israel was the first nation to come to the rescue and they saved many lives.
