Turkey denies news report over Syrian threat to hit Tel Aviv
ANKARA (A.A) - October 5, 2011 - A spokesperson with the Turkish Foreign Ministry has denied a media report appeared on Iran's semi-official news agency which had cited Syrian president as telling Turkish foreign minister that Syria might hit Tel Aviv with missiles in case of a foreign military intervention to oust the Syrian leadership.
"The news report is completely untrue," Selcuk Unal told the Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, adding Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu held no meetings with Syrian President Bashar Assad in the recent past, and no such issue had ever come up in earlier meetings between the two.
The report on Iran's Fars news agency appeared also on Tuesday's edition of the Israeli daily Haaretz.
