President Basescu: Romania will stand by Israel in event of conflict with Iran

dandelion salad | 13.08.2010 19:15 | Anti-militarism | Other Press | Repression | World

"Romania, if need be, will be a loyal partner of the NATO Alliance, of which it is part and a loyal partner of Israel" said Romania's President Traian Basescu, in answer to a question on whether Romania will make Israel available its bases and air space in the event of a conflict with Iran.

This outrageous statement is yet another glaring example of the massive divide between the ruling class and the popular will.

excerpt from: Basescu: Romania to be a loyal partner of NATO and of Israel, if need be

AGERPRES, 12 August 2010


Romania will be a loyal partner of NATO and of Israel ‘if need be’, President Traian Basescu said after meeting visiting Israel’s President Shimon Peres, as a remark in answer to a question put by a reporter on whether Romania will make Israel available its bases and air space in the event of a conflict with Iran.

‘I do not think we should speak of a conflict at this moment. We hope the sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council will produce the correct solution in Tehran, that should not be one of digging graves for the American troops, but of opening transparent talks and Romania, if need be, will be a loyal partner of the NATO Alliance, of which it is part and a loyal partner of Israel’, Basescu stressed.

Vilna’i: IAF’s Romania training is vital

by David Horovitz and Yaakov Katz, Jerusalem Post, 30 July 2010


The Israel Air Force training exercises in Romania, in which a Yasour helicopter crashed on Monday with the loss of six Israeli airmen and one Romanian military officer, were primarily aimed at improving the IAF’s capacity to maneuver in the kind of terrain characteristic of neighboring states, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilna’i indicated on Thursday.

“We fly in Romania because we train in conditions so that we can act in all places, including those that are not immediately adjacent to us, including [deep] inside neighboring Arab states,” Vilna’i said in an interview with The Jerusalem Post.
