Turkey not awaiting Israeli response forever- FM
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Ankara, July 6, IRNA -- Foreign Minster of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu said that his country will not wait forever for receiving response from Israel.
Davutoglu made the remark at the Turkish-run state TV referring to the recent brutal attack by the Israeli forces on an aid flotilla to the Gaza Strip.
During the bloody raid by the Israeli militants that happened in the last days of May, nine Turkish activists were killed.
If Israel does not excuse and make it up to the Turkish government, it will be too hard to see the Ankara-Tel Aviv relations as they were so far, Davutoglu said.
The Turkish foreign minister had also said that Ankara would “likely”cut its relations with Tel Aviv.
Turkey will not keep silent on any “military ambition” against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the World Bulletin website said quoting Davutoglu as saying.
The website also wrote that Davutoglu said in a parliament session last week that Ankara cannot be indifferent to the world questions.
While talking to reporters on Sunday night, Davutoglu announced that Turkey has closed its air space to all Israeli military flights.
He also said the decision may be made for Israel’s passenger planes as well.
