Iran, Turkey, Syria to cooperate to guarantee regional security
Iran's envoy to Ankara said Friday that Iran, Turkey and Syria are to boost the trilateral cooperation to preserve the security and stability in the region.Oh, it's the Axis of Kurd-owners... Speaking to a Turkish TV channel, Ambassador Firouz Dowlatabadi said the crisis in Iraq which is a neighbor of Iran, Turkey and Syria requires proper measures by the three states to prevent any action or event endangering the regional security and calm. "Cain't go lettin' them Kurds get uppity. Nex' thing y'know, they'll be sniffin' around our wimmin..." The envoy said the three countries could not remain indifferent vis-a-vis the events taking place in neighboring Iraq since the situation there would influence the regional circumstances. He however said that the trilateral cooperation among Tehran, Ankara and Damascus should not be viewed as a regional pact. "Oh, certainly not! While Syria may be taking Iraq's place on the Axis of Evil, Turkey is reluctant to join..." He went on to say that Iran-Turkey-Syria cooperation could encourage the international community to come to measures to protect security in the region and in the world. He termed as "unrealistic" the sensitivity shown by some media circles on trilateral cooperation of these countries. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-11 |
