Israel must denuclearize, Erdogan says
14/04/2010The Turkish premier says the international community should take action to disarm Israel as part of the efforts to make the Middle East a nuclear weapons-free zone.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday before leaving for the nuclear security summit in Washington, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the international community has turned a blind eye to Israel’s nuclear program.
Pointing out that Israel is believed to be the sole possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East and is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Erdogan said, “Until now, we haven’t seen any request or intent from the international community with regards to Israel’s (armament). We are going to ask the international community: why haven’t you addressed this issue?”
The Turkish premier announced that he would raise the issue at the Washington summit and call on all 47 countries attending the forum to pressure Tel Aviv to relinquish its nuclear arsenal.
Erdogan said Iran’s nuclear program has come under scrutiny as a result of its membership in the International Atomic Energy Agency whereas Israel, which has not signed the NPT, is “free to do what it wants.”
Israel reportedly possesses 250 to 300 nuclear warheads.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to cancel plans to attend the Washington summit after learning that Cairo and Ankara would demand that Tel Aviv sign the NPT at the meeting.
A few weeks ago in a show of power the Islamist government of Turkey took on their own military. Today we see them being good Muslims, and turning on what was supposed to be an ally. All the while, Iran moves towards obtaining nuclear warheads. Sides are being drawn up…
If the muslim nations surrounding Israel laid down their arms, there would be no terrorism and no war.
If Israel laid down her arms, there would be no Israel.
Here's an idea. Israel will give up their nukes after Turkey give up their korans, their air force and the imams, and AFTER Israel destroys Iran's nukes (and if one of Iran's missiles slips through and hits Ankarra, TFB).
Because Israel has their arms there is a status quo in the region, if they give them up, I agree, there would be no Israel and the rest of them would be fighting each other. (Which wouldn’t necessarily be a bad idea though)
If they try I hope they wipe both Turkey and Iran off the map!!
Yes, its time to wipe Turkey out – before it tries to wipe both Israel and Europe out.
Erdoclown is a dangerous gameplayer aside from him being an archetypical arselifter.
What makes this country even more dangerous, is that far too many non-Muslims believe that Turkey is some great ally of ours. They will turn on us in a heartbeat.
Europe gets pwned by islam.
Your article is good but the headline is incomplete.
Should read… "Turkey: Israel must give up their nukes….. so that our 100 million strong Arab nation can overrun the Jews and complete what Hitler started."
There, that's more accurate.
Why? To make it easier for the Muslims to kill the Irsaelis. They don't make that same demand from Iran, or Pakistan.
going to the UN to ask a bunch of thugs to gang up on Israel is easy to do. The UN is nothing but a bunch of muslims and communists more than willing to kill a Jew. I wish we would kick the UN out of America. It has proven to be nothing more than an escape for thugs and pukes from their own turd world nations.
Please ask Hassan, if the missiles are Israels business when they are flying into Israel.
