Spokesman for the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), Burak Özügergin, confirmed on Thursday reports that Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu had had a meeting with Israeli Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor Binyamin "Fuad" Ben Eliezer in Brussels.

Speaking to reporters at Ankara's Esenboğa International Airport, Burak Özügergin said that "Davutoğlu did have a meeting with Eliezer. It was the Israeli side that requested such a meeting in Brussels".

The two ministers discussed the current status of Turkish-Israeli relations following Israel's attack on ships carrying aid materials to Gaza on May 31 and the future of such relations, Özügergin said.

Minister Davutoğlu reminded Eliezer of Turkey's expectations from Israel like an apology, payment of compensation to the families of those killed and those wounded on May 31, establishment of an international commission to study the attack on May 31 and the end to the blockade in Gaza, Özügergin said.

Minister Eliezer assured Davutoğlu that Turkey's demands would be conveyed to the Israeli government, Özügergin also said.
