Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined the Palestinians and various Arab states in criticizing Israel for its heritage plan, which includes sites located in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

"Al-Aqsa mosque, the Cave of Patriarchs, and Rachel's Tomb will never be Jewish sites, but rather Islamic ones," Erdogan told Palestinian reporters Sunday.


It is too bad the general were arrested before they could over throw this government. I am afraid that Turkey will move away from being a friend and end up as an enemy.

Which is too bad as I like Turkey and the Turkish people.
