Turkish foreign minister rules out cooperation with Israel on Syria

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said today that Turkey and Israel will not cooperate on Syria and will focus on own security matters instead, Hurriyet reports.

Turkey monitors the Syrian-Israeli border and hopes that the recent incidents would not escalate the conflict on Golan Heights. The incident happened last week when Israel opened counter-fire at Syria. UN peacekeepers approved a set of operations of Syrian troops in the demilitarized zone.
