US Join Chiefs Chairman: "US-Turkish military cooperation has reached an unprecedented level"

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen yesterday said that over the past few months US-Turkish military cooperation has reached an unprecedented degree. Speaking to the Senate Armed Services Committee on next year's proposed military budget, Mullen said that he had recently met with Deputy Chief of General Staff Gen. Ergin Saygun. "There's a delicate balance," he said. "I think not only the military but the leaders of the two countries understand that we reached a balance and it should continue."
