Iran aids in release of Turkish journalists from Syria

[IranZamin]

Two Turkish journalists who went missing while reporting on the uprising in Syria two months ago were released on Saturday with Iran’s help, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced.

The release of the pair demonstrated Iran’s influence with its ally Syria, which lost Turkey’s friendship when it cracked down on pro-democracy protests that erupted last year. Iran and Syria, both isolated by the West, have stuck by each other.

The two journalists were flown to Tehran, where they told Turkey’s Anatolian news agency they were in good health and looking forward to being reunited with their families.

In remarks on his Twitter account, Mr. Davutoglu said the Turkish government was sending a plane to bring them home. His Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi had told him earlier that the journalists had been freed, he added.

As long as Iran remains Turkey's friend, i think Turkey will do whatever it has in its power to prevent a war between Iran and USA/Israel.

I hope they remain as our friend, because a hot conflict between Iran and Turkey would be very destructive and history is a witness to that. However, the real question is how they will react when a difference of opinion occurs between Iran and Turkey. Turkish officials have obviously been responding more calmly and wisely over the situations while some Iranian officials talk about sending missiles to Turkey.

No my friend, It was officially stated in the most direct and clear way that those sentences were not from official sources.
