“Mossad” coordinates with Turkish counterpart

The director of “Israel’s Mossad” has met secretly with the Turkish intelligence agency’s undersecretary and discussed the latest regional developments,according to Press TV.

Turkish Hurriyet newspaper reported on Wednesday that the secret meeting between Tamir Pardo and Hakan Fidan took place in Ankara on June 10.

During the meeting, the pair discussed the situation in Syria, Iran’s nuclear energy program as well as anti-government demonstrations and protests across Turkey.

They  also discussed intelligence sharing between Ankara and Tel Aviv.

In addition, Pardo asked for an appointment to meet with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but he did not receive a reply.

The anti-government unrest began after police broke up a sit-in staged in Taksim Square on May 31 to protest against the demolition of Gezi Park.

The protesters say the park, which is a traditional gathering point for rallies and demonstrations as well as a popular tourist destination, is the city’s last green public space.

The death toll from clashes between anti-government protesters and police in Turkey has reportedly reached five.

Amnesty International has censured the Turkish police for the tactics they have used to control the protests.
