Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said Turkey is withdrawing
its ambassador to Israel, canceling three joint military drills and
calling on the UN Security Council to convene in an emergency session
about Israel.
The moves come after 10 pro-Palestinian activists on an aid flotilla
were reported killed and dozens wounded by Israeli forces.
Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc says Turkey is withdrawing its
ambassador on Monday and also calling back a youth soccer team from
Israel. He equates Israel’s actions with “piracy.”
He rules out deploying Turkish warships in the Mediterranean but
severely condemns Israel, AP reported.
