At a time when the government was showing signs of normalization with the occupier Israel, which occupied Palestine, a photo from the USA took the process one step further. Turkey's Ambassador to Washington, Hasan Murat Mercan, posed candidly with the ambassadors of Israel and Greece at the National Sephardic Society Gala in New York.
A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE
Mercan lit the 8th night candle of Hanukkah together with Ambassador Gilad Erdan, Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations, and Alexandra Papadopoulou, the Greek Ambassador to Washington. In the Hanukkah ceremony, which took place in a friendly atmosphere, frivolous shots that did not suit Turkey's national, spiritual, religious and historical character were taken by cameras.
