Pardo claimed to have information that Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Syrian intelligence were working against Turkey, according to Hurriyet. Fidan and Pardo reportedly discussed the ongoing protests in Turkey that started to oppose a development project in Istanbul’s Taksim Gezi Park and have spread to other parts of the country.

The two intelligence officials discussed the “possible influence of the intelligence organizations of regional countries on the Gezi Park protests in Turkey.”
