Turkey's ambassador Ercan Ozer (R) enters the excavation site in the Old City of Jerusalem March 21, 2007. A team of Turkish experts inspected Israeli excavations in Jerusalem on Wednesday near one of Islam's holiest sites, a Turkish official said. Israel's archaeological dig is taking place 50 metres (165 feet) from a religious compound known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as Temple Mount.
