Last week, Turkey\u2019s National Security Council (MGK)\u00a0approved changes in its National Security document, removing Armenia from, and adding Israel to the list of countries that pose a \u201cmajor threat\u201d to Turkey, reports The Armenian Weekly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Iran, Syria, Georgia, and Bulgaria were also removed from the \u201cmajor threat\u201d list.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition to referring to it as a threat, the document accuses Israel of driving the entire region into an arms race.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Other threats that were added to the list are global warming and online terror.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The document, also referred to as \u201cThe Red Book,\u201d informs the country\u2019s policy towards its neighbors, and is generally revised every five years.<\/p>\n

The relations between Turkey and Israel have deteriorated in recent months. Most recently, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan said he would boycott a climate conference in Athens if Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
