Erdogan to Obama: Time to redefine terrorism
Turkey's prime minister had a message Thursday for US President Barack Obama: redefine terror and terrorism in the Middle East and use it as the basis for a new American policy.i.e., Hamas = not terrorist; Hezbollah = not terrorist; IDF defending itself = terrorist Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose country which is held up as a model of moderation has played a key role in trying to mediate among Israel and Syria and the Palestinians, said Obama's new Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, will be in Turkey for talks Sunday. "President Obama must redefine terror and terrorist organizations in the Middle East, and based on this new definition, a new American policy must be deployed in the Middle East," Erdogan told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
