Definitely a case of insult to Turkey’s amour propre. [IsraelTimes] Israeli officials believe the coming 48 hours will be critical in seeking to secure the release of an Israeli couple detained in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
after photographing a presidential palace, according to television reports.
| That’d be Natalie and Mordi Oknin, city bus drivers, who snapped their cameras just as the Turks reached peak mad about being laughed at for setting 200 government agents to follow 15 Arab spies for an entire year under the mistaken impression that they were Mossad agents. |
Channel 13 news says officials believe that if not the saga is not resolved in the next two days, the couple could remain in Ottoman Turkish custody for years.
The network also reports that other Israelis have been snapping photos of the palace in Istanbul without incident. And a Ottoman Turkish journalist tells Channel 12 that thousands of people would be facing espionage charges if taking pictures of the palace is considered to be an act of spying.
A separate report by Channel 12 news quotes unnamed diplomatic officials saying they have been unable to get a response from Turkey on the matter.
Earlier, a Channel 13 news news hound was detained while broadcasting live from Turkey. The news hound, Ali Mograbi, was later released.
Mograbi says it was noticeable that coppers were tailing him all day.
When he started a live broadcast in the street they came and told him to stop. They then took him and made sure he deleted all the photos he had taken before releasing him and telling him not to leave the hotel, he says.
