Hot News Turkey, August 16, 2008 – Turkish President Abdullah Gul urged his Iranian counterpart to accept the new incentives package of the Western countries and warned on a possible U.S. military operation, Hurriyet daily reported on Saturday.

Gul and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahamdinejad met on Thursday to discuss the international row over Tehran’s nuclear works and bilateral relations.

Two leaders, however, failed to sign agreements on multi-billion dollars energy agreement, a move came after the U.S. pressure who seeks to increase the isolation of Iran, some media reports earlier suggested.

“We welcome and support the latest (incentives) package submitted by the five members of the UN Security Council and Germany. We see this (package) as a window of oppurtunity. You should accept this package and focus on the economic development of your country,” Hurriyet quoted Gul as telling Ahmedinejad in the meeting.

“U.S. President George W. Bush could bomb your country just before he leaves the office. This would seriously harm your country and your people as well as the region,” Gul added, the report said.

Gul also suggested that the Iranian president should not rely on the dovish comments of the U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Ahmedinejad, in return, reiterated that the Iran’s nuclear program is completely peaceful and they would not accept to freeze their uranium enrichment works. Gul said another terminology could be used for the word “freeze.”
