ISRAEL WANTS NO CONFLICT WITH TURKEY -- ISRAELI MINISTER
Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)
September 11, 2011 Sunday
Israel does not want any quarrel with Turkey, but is working on
regaining ties with Ankara, according to Israeli radio on Sunday.
Israeli radio quoted Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman as saying
he hopes to recover ties with Ankara, although "will not wave a
white flag". In addition, he refuses to apologize for the attack on
Gaza-bound flotilla that occurred last year, which led to the death
of nine Turkish civilians.
This comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said
yesterday that Israel has no desire to see strained relations with
Turkey continue.
Lieberman claimed in his press releases that Israel's actions have
been and will continue to be in line with international law, adding
that the Palmer Commission report on the boarding of the Mavi Marmara
considered Israel's actions as legal.
Meanwhile, Lieberman evaded questions about "punishing" Turkey,
assisting Kurds, and Armenian rebels.
