Minister of National Defense Güler leaves question on Israel unanswered

Güler stated, "I could not listen to what the Honorable Chairman said, but we tried to present the information they desired and would need there yesterday. Be a little patient, we will see. I am saying be a little patient."

RESPONSE TO ÖZEL'S CRITICISMS

Before the AKP group meeting, when a journalist reminded him of Özgür Özel's remarks regarding the closed session at the TBMM General Assembly, Minister Güler said, "Please do not ask questions about yesterday."

Regarding the Claw Operation, in response to the question, "You had said, 'We will close the lock in November'," Güler replied, "Let November come, we will see." 

To the reporter's reminder, "When asked in August, you also said 'We will see in November'," Güler said, "You can probably guess the work being done there, right? We are dealing with a matter we have been dealing with for 40 years. If you ask in August, of course I will say November. Hopefully... We will talk when November comes."
