None
US President Barack Obama has warned Turkish prime minister that Ankara's position on Israel and Iran could lessen its chances of obtaining US weapons, a report said on Monday.
The Turkish leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, wants to buy American drone aircraft to attack separatist Kurdish rebels after the US military withdraws from Iraq at the end of 2011, Britain's Financial Times newspaper reported. 'The president has said to Erdogan that some of the actions that Turkey has taken have caused questions to be raised on the Hill (Congress),' a senior administration official was quoted as saying in the daily paper.
