Gümrükçü denies media reports alleging Israel seeking access to turkish airbase

British daily the Sunday Times has alleged that the Israeli delegation headed by Yaakov Amidror, the chief of Israel's National Security Council, which was expected to arrive in Turkey on Monday to discuss details of Israel's pledge to redress families of the victims from a 2010 Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla would propose trading advanced missile defense systems in return to use for training Akinci Airbase for a possible attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Levent Gümrükçü, a spokesperson with the Turkish Foreign Ministry denied Sunday the media report that Israel was set to offer Turkey weapons and military technology in return for access to an airbase near the Turkish capital for training. "These reports have nothing to do with the reality. They are speculative and malicious," Gumrukcu said.
