Ankara- Turkey: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan claimed that the Israeli attack was a “bloody massacre” which can not go unpunished. Speaking in Parliament Erdoğan recalled his confrontation with Israeli President Shimon Peres at the Davos summit in January 2009. On that occasion Erdoğan stormed out of the debate after telling Peres: “You know well how to kill people.”
Turkish prime minster loses his temper over the killing in Gaza while he is persistent in his policy of denial and annihilation of the Kurds in his own country. Over 15,000 Kurdish politicians are in Turkish prisons and over 2,660 Kurdish minors are jailed. The violence has escalated between Turkish Army and the Kurdish resistance movement after the Turkish bombardment of Kurdistan in last week.
Erdoğan said Turkey’s hostility was as “strong as its friendship is valuable,” and added that the Israeli action was an attack “on international law, the conscience of humanity and world peace.”
Erdogan claims that Israeli attack is against international law but Turkish warplane raided Kurdistan using chemical bombs prohibited by the international laws.
He called on Israel to immediately end the “inhumane” blockade on Gaza.
“Israel in no way can legitimize this murder, it cannot wash its hand of this blood,” Erdoğan said, adding that Turkey would continue to support the Palestinian people. “We will not turn our back on Palestine, Palestinians and Gaza.”
