The US will put great pressure on Turkey, especially on the Turkish army, to lend its support in the eventuality of a US war on Iran, said Seymour Hersh, the Pulitzer Award winning journalist of the New Yorker magazine.
Speaking to the Turkish private NTV channel in Washington, Hersh commented on the possibilities and effects of a US war on Iran.
Hersh claimed that such a war would drag Turkey into instability, as it would the rest of the world. He said there was even a possibility of a civil war which would inflame the Kurdish problem. Hersh said that in case of a war on Iran, the US would request Turkey and the Turkish army to do what the majority of the Turkish people would not support.
"There will be a critical question for Turkey as well as for other countries in the Middle East - i.e. On which side are you?" remarked Hersh.
