Turkey gives "Israel" ultimatum for apology
[ 02/09/2011 - 10:29 AM ]
ANKARA, (PIC)-- Ahmet Oglo, the Turkish foreign minister, has specified Thursday an ultimatum to the Zionist entity to apologize for the crime it had committed against Turkish human right activists on Mavi Marmara where nine Turkish citizens were killed and dozens wounded.
According to Oglo, the ultimatum would be the day the UN promulgates its fact finding report on the incident, adding that if "Israel" failed to apologize till that date then Turkey would implement an alternative plan.
The UN was about to announce its fact finding report last May but postponed it on the request of the parties involved. The last request was made by Israeli premier Binyamin Netanyahu who urged the UN committee tackling the investigation to defer the promulgation for six months.
"We have evaluated the Israeli request, but it is impossible for us to wait for six months for the committee to announce its report. Turkey's position in this regard is very clear, we have taken a decision and we will fulfill that decision. Turkey would implement sanctions on Israel that "Israel" itself and other international parties know very well," said Oglo.
The UN secretary-general is expected to announce the report at the beginning of September this year.
