    Turkey Removes Armenia from, Adds Israel to `Threat' List

    ANKARA, Turkey (A.W.) - Earlier this week, Turkey's National Security
    Council (MGK) approved changes in its National Security document,
    removing Armenia from, and adding Israel to the list of countries that
    pose a `major threat' to Turkey.

    Iran, Syria, Georgia, and Bulgaria were also removed from the `major
    threat' list.

    In addition to referring to it as a threat, the document accuses
    Israel of driving the entire region into an arms race.

    Other threats that were added to the list are global warming and online terror.

    The document, also referred to as `The Red Book,' informs the
    country's policy towards its neighbors, and is generally revised every
    five years.

    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's Prime Minister
    Benjamin Netanyahu attends.
