    TURKISH PM SAYS NO SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL UNFAIR

    PanARMENIAN.Net - If the Quartet was willing to resolve Turkey-Israel
    issue, they would have imposed certain issues on Israel today,
    Turkish Prime Minister said.

    As Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an interview to TIME magazine, "until
    today, the U.N. Security Council has issued more than 89 resolutions
    on prospective sanctions related to Israel, but they've never been
    executed. And furthermore, there were about 200 resolutions issued by
    the General Assembly and neither have those been complied with. One
    might wonder why no sanctions have been imposed on Israel. When it's
    Iran in question, you impose sanctions. Similarly with Sudan. What
    happens with Israel then?"

    The PM further urged the international community to support Palestine
    on its way to independence. "Through TIME, I'd like to make a call
    out to humanity: [the Palestinians] are there to exist. They are not
    there to be condemned to struggle in an open-air penitentiary. Israel's
    cruelty in that regard cannot be continued any longer."

    Dwelling on the rift in Israel-Turkey relations, Erdogan noted that
    as long as the embargo on Gaza has not been lifted, the relations
    between the two countries will never become normalized. "Our mutual
    relations with Israel would have been reinforced even further only if
    Israel hadn't victimized the positive relations of two countries with
    [its 2010 raid] on the Mavi Marmara," the PM said.
