PanARMENIAN.Net – Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot reports that Turkey has
rejected a proposal, first floated by the US, for Israeli President
Shimon Peres to personally apologize to Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, who would do the same. The rejection is apparently
not absolute, and an apology by Peres, who has international prestige,
could solve the crisis between the two countries.
Senior Israeli sources say that the Turks have left an opening for
further contacts. “The key phrase is creative solutions,” a senior
Turkish official told a local website. “That’s what we’re looking
for now.”
In his first response to Erdogan’s UN speech yesterday, Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the remarks were “mendacious
scandalous incitement with no regard to the truth”, according to
Globes.
