Erdoğan replied to questions of reporters at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul before his departure for United Arab Emirates.
Regarding diplomatic crisis that took place between Turkey and Israel, Erdoğan said that they would not bring the issue further.
Barak said during a news conference in Ankara that Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon's ill-treatment of Turkish Ambassador in Tel Aviv Oguz Celikkol was a mistake. "We consider that Barak's statements were satisfactory. We will not bring the issue further," Erdoğan said.
Prime Minister Erdoğan said after his visit to United Arab Emirates, he would also pay a visit to Saudi Arabia and meet with King Abdallah bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud. Erdoğan said they would discuss the ways to boost trade volume between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
"Turkey keeps establishing sound relations with the east-west and north-south. We want to have reputable relations with all countries," he added.
