Washington, September 4, 2010 (Just Flashed): Adm. Michael Mullen happens to be the high-ranking military official of America. He is also the holder of the position of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now, he has mentioned to the Turkish bureaucrats that America does not intend to take out its arsenal from Iraq and transport them via the Turkish land.

Mullen divulged on Saturday that the American forces has requested Turkish acquiescence only to transfer some American equipments from Iraq, that are not meant for skirmishing purposes, by way of the Turkish soil.

The Turkish administration has voiced that it looks constructively on the passage of such non-lethal equipments and scientific objects. However, the hauling of American weaponry through Turkey would necessitate the Turkish parliamentary authorization. In 2003, the year of the controversial American conquest of Iraq, Turkey declined to permit the American services to utilize Turkish territory to march into Iraq.

Mullen has divulged that his trip to Turkey was also not zoomed in on coercing Turkey to perform more constructive commissions in Afghanistan to enable the stabilization of Afghan territory. However, Mullen stated that any Turkish assistance for the betterment of Afghanistan would be happily embraced.

Turkey has had a strong and meaningful alliance with the Western world ever since the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire subsequent to WW 1. Turkey, despite being a predominantly Mohammedan nation, is a staunchly secular society and has been so ever since Turkey was created as a self-governing nation from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire. Turkey also happens to be the solitary country with an Islamic majority in the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), which is an influential bloc of Western nations.
