Iran To Help Release Abducted Turkish Pilots : Gul

Ankara, Oct 1, IRNA – Turkish President Abdullah Gul announced that Iran will help release the two Turkish Airlines pilots abducted in Lebanon. President Gul made the remarks talking to reporters. The Turkish president asked his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rohani to help release the two pilots in a meeting held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. Ankara, he said, has already requested Iran’s assistance to resolve several issues and Tehran has accepted to help Ankara in certain cases. The pilots were kidnapped in August. The abductors had announced that the Turkish pilots would be released only when the Lebanese Shiite pilgrims kidnapped by the opposition groups last May were freed./end
