Ankara: Trkiye on Saturday denied claims that it was transmitting intelligence to Israel from the Kurecik radar base. 'The radar base in Kurecik was established in line with Trkiye's national security and interests and is intended to ensure the protection of the NATO allies,' Trkiye's Center for Combating Disinformation said in a statement on X.

According to Anadolu Agency, the statement noted that the data obtained from the Kurecik radar base is exclusively shared with NATO allies within a specific framework, in accordance with NATO procedures. It emphasized that sharing radar base data with non-NATO allies, such as Israel, is entirely out of the question.

The statement further addressed the issue of misinformation, stating, 'The black propaganda conducted in the opposing direction constitutes subversive acts that can only be considered within the scope of 5th column activity unless they are a product of mere recklessness.'

Trkiye also reiterated its stance against Israel's operations in the Middle East, stating, 'Trkiye stands against Israel's operations to destabilize the Middle East and will never support Israel's actions in this regard.' The country maintains this approach within NATO and takes a necessary stance against Israel's participation in NATO exercises.
