ANKARA - Turkey is worried that the new Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, which was elected in the Nov. 2 midterm elections and will take office on Jan. 3, may take measures that would weaken U.S.-Turkish relations because of Ankara's rapprochement with Iran and worsened ties with Israel.

Washington and Ankara insist: the bilateral relationship between the US and Turkey is strong, even unshakable.
But, behind the spin, there is growing concern in the US capital as to whether Turkey is breaking away from the West, falling under the spell of Iran and becoming at best an unreliable ally.
Those fears are likely to be voiced even more loudly now that Republicans have won control of the House of Representatives.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu spoke to his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki on the phone after the NATO summit in Lisbon ended.

Turkey's efforts for Iran not to be cited as the source of threat regarding the missile shield system and the outcome obtained as a result have been welcomed by the regional countries.

Mottaki thanked Turkey for its principled attitude at the summit and draw attention to the importance of this attitude.

US acts like Israel's lawyer, Erdoğan tells Obama
16 October 2011, Sunday

http://www.todayszaman.com/news-260012- ... obama.html

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan fired back at US President Barack Obama, after a remark Obama made about Turkey's relationship with Iran in a private meeting late last month, reportedly telling the US president that his country is acting like “Israel's lawyer.”


Davutoğlu, who is currently attending an informal gathering of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) in the town of Kızılcahamam, near Ankara, revealed a minor encounter between Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Obama to lawmakers on Saturday during a speech, Turkish broadcaster NTV reported.

Obama and Erdoğan met in New York late last month on the margins of the UN General Assembly, to discuss bilateral relations, along with regional developments. Davutoğlu said when Obama complained to Erdoğan that Turkey is “protecting Iran,” Erdoğan said: “You [the US] are acting like Israel's lawyer.” The Turkish foreign minister described Erdoğan as responding to Obama with his “sweet strong style.
