Turkey PM: My people rejected Israeli participation in NATO drill

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday said that "diplomatic sensitivities" led his government to ban Israel from a joint NATO air force drill, French news agency AFP reported.

"We have taken the conscience of our people into consideration when we decided.... I had to be the voice that expresses the existence of my people and my people were rejecting Israel's participation.

    When did any government do anything of the sort? There must be more to it than that.

  3. Sometimes people do the right thing because they want to do the right thing. Sometimes it isn't about what I am getting, but about what I can contribute. Know this is tough for some to understand.

    Salut Turkey.
