| 2011-04-08 |
| [Ma'an] The Mavi Marmara ship which was carrying nine Turkish activists killed in an Israeli raid last May is scheduled to return as part of the "Freedom Flotilla 2" next month, reports said Thursday. Head of the IHH Bülent Yildirim said the flotilla was slated to depart in the second half of the month. "What happened in last year's flotilla will not affect us or the next flotilla," Yildirim was quoted as saying by the Israeli Ynet news site. He said the Marmara will depart from Europe carrying artists, journalists and politicians, Ynet reported. Organizers say more than 15 vessels will take part in the flotilla, according to the report. |
