Turkey's Erdogan Wins Raucous Reception from Arab Leaders
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan received a thunderous reception from Arab leaders at the Turkish-Arab Economic Forum that opened Thursday in Istanbul, a day after voting against UN sanctions on Iran. Basking in the new stature he has gained in the Arab and Muslim world as a result of his confrontational posture toward Israel, Erdogan questioned Washington's international dominance, and continued to unleash invective against Israel. Turkey and 20 Arab nations also issued a joint statement expressing "grave concern and condemnation for the Israeli aggression" in the flotilla incident.
