| Turkey Forces Israel To Divert Military Overflights |
| 2010-06-28 |
| Part of this article is indirectly attributed to AiPee so here's a summary: An Israeli military plane carrying over 100 officers from Israel to Poland was denied overflight by Turkey. So a detour was necessary. The Israeli military did not officially react to this because they feared the sift would deepen. No comment from the Israeli prime minister's office. A Turkish official told the BBC that the ban does not affect commercial air traffic and military traffic only on a case by case basis. |

| #3 IMO by this action TURKEY is being PCORRECT, i.e. showing the Muslim World it is loyal or dedicated, but neutral Muslim state while making KSA = Saudi Arabia responsible for de facto assisting any US-Israel milstrike agz Iran. Also read, NATO + EU. |

| #2 Fig Leaf. The flights that count will not ask permission, and the Turkish Military will happen to be on coffee break. |
