Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Monday that all of the problems in the region were the fault of Israel. "We believe the Zionists are connected with the terror groups," he said in a press conference in Ankara with visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. The two men met to discuss the crisis in Syria and said they would continue to cooperate to eliminate terror groups operating there. Turkey has been supporting the insurgent forces who launched an offensive against the Assad regime, which is bolstered by Iran.
