Iranian Official: Anti-Israeli Sentiments Growing in Turkey

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian official underlined the Turkish people's growing hatred for Israel, and said Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has grown more popular among his nation due to his anti-Israeli positions.
"Erdogan's anti-Zionist stances have been welcomed by the people of the country and contributed a major share to his reelection," Secretary-General of Iran-Turkey Joint Trade Council Reza Kami told FNA on Monday.

He underlined the abominable position of Israel in the Middle-East, and said the regional nations feel disgust and humiliation for the Zionist regime and show much sensitivity in this regard.

That's why they render support to any anti-Zionist move, he added.

"Hatred for the Zionist regime is also well observed in the awakening moves in the region and it has turned into a part of these popular moves," Kami said.

In relevant remarks, a senior official of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) had also earlier reiterated that the waves of Islamic awakening sweeping the region will accelerate the collapse of the Zionist regime which is now entangled with numerous internal problems as well.

"The recent events in the region and the wave of Islamic Awakening in the countries which had earlier been the strategic allies of Israel are the factors accelerating the collapse of the Israeli usurper regime," IRGC Politburo Chief General Yadollah Javani said earlier this month.

Also, a senior Iranian diplomat had earlier underlined that Hosni Mubarak's downfall entailed dire consequences for the Zionist regime of Israel.

"The Zionist regime is on the verge of collapse after Hosni Mubarak's overthrow," Tehran's Ambassador to Beirut Qazanfar Roknabadi stated in June.

He added that the developments in Egypt have resulted in Israel's further inability to wage a new war on Lebanon.
