Turkey: We expect formal apology, compensation from Israel over Gaza flotilla
Turkish president addressed UN general assembly and praised UN report on Gaza flotilla raid, which says Israeli forces violated international law.
Turkey is still waiting for an apology from Israel over the Gaza flotilla raid, Turkish president Abdullah Gul told the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.
| Israel owes Turkey the courtesy of an appropriate response to their classic Ottoman behaviour, so beautifully described by Mark Twain in his Innocents Abroad. It seems that after a three-generation flirtation with modernity, they are reverting to type. A clear reminder that in the old days the Flotilla incident would indeed have led to war, and that all the Turkish army's best toys are Israeli might clear the air a bit, as well. |
