Turkey removes Armenia from “threat” list
Earlier this week, Turkey’s National Security Council (MGK) approved changes in its National Security document.
MGK removed Syria, Bulgaria, Armenia and Georgia from the list of countries that pose a “major threat” to Turkey, Tumgazeteler reported citing Haaretz.
Israel was added to the “major threat” list.
In addition to referring to it as a threat, the document accuses Israel of driving the entire region into an arms race.
The document, also referred to as “The Red Book,” informs the country’s policy towards its neighbors, and is generally revised every five years.
