Turkish FM: We cannot remain silent to incidents in Gaza

16 October 2009 / THE ANATOLIA NEWS AGENCY, ANKARA
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said on Friday that Turkey could not remain silent regarding the Israeli attacks on Gaza.

Turkey also cannot display a military picture with Israel in such a sensitive atmosphere, added Davutoğlu who held a press conference at Ankara's International Esenboga Airport prior to his departure for Bosnia-Herzegovina.

When reporters recalled the recent problems between Turkey and Israel, Davutoğlu said that Turkey was a mediator between Israel and Syria these times last year, adding that however, Turkey could not remain silent what was happening in Gaza now.

Davutoğlu said that Turkey wanted children not to get killed and peace to be restored in Gaza. He added that it did not mean being against Israel and it was a humanitarian situation.

Commenting on the problem between Turkey and Israel which was caused by a TV series on state-run TRT channel, Davutoğlu said that TRT was an autonomous institution, and his ministry had not given any official consultation regarding the TV series.
