JERUSALEM,
Israel,— A government-owned Turkish company has
approached an Israeli company that develops radars
systems aimed at defending nuclear reactors and
border fences, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported
Wednesday.
The Turkish company has looked into the possibility
of purchasing BiScopic Protection system, a high
performance stereoscopic vision sensory system for
the detection of perimeter intrusion, from Dimona-based
Magna BSP Ltd. to boost security along Turkey's
border with Kurdistan. Kurdish infiltrations into
Turkish territory have increased as of late.
The system, which was was developed by Magna in
cooperation with the Nuclear Research Center and the
Ministry of Defense, is used by the IDF.

Magna CEO Haim Siboni
confirmed that the Turks approached his company.
"This just proves that reports of a Turkish boycott
(on Israeli goods) don't hold water," he said.
"Israeli security products being sold to the global
market are irreplaceable. They may not like us, but
they buy from us. As far as the Turks are concerned,
we can close the deal tomorrow. But we won't do
anything without authorization," Siboni added.
Magna's system is currently installed in nuclear
reactors in Japan and India. In Israel, the system
is used by security personnel at Ben Gurion Airport
and Jerusalem's Temple Mount complex.
