"Turkey will take legal actions against the Israhelli soldiers and all other officials responsible for the crimes committed and pursue the matter resolutely", Turkey's embassy in Washington said in a statement.
The threat came after a UN report said that Israhell had used unreasonable force in its raid on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla in international waters of the Mediterranean Sea in May 2010, during which nine Turkish activities were killed. The report also described Israhell's naval blockade on Gaza, which has had a disastrous impact on the humanitarian and economic situation in the impoverished territory, as 'legal.'
One day after the UN report was leaked to The New York Times, Ankara suspended all its military ties with Tel Aviv and has expelled Israhell's envoy from Ankara over the regime's refusal to apologize for the attack on the Gaza-bound flotilla.
"Turkey also reaffirms that relations between Turkey and Israhell will not normalize as long as Israhell does not apologize and refuses to pay compensation for what it has done", the embassy statement said.
Turkey's President Abduallah Gul also said that expulsion of the Israhelli envoy is just the first step in many possible measures taken against Israhell if it persists in its refusal to apologize. Zionist United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Saturday expressed his optimism that the two former allies could mend ties. "I sincerely hope that Israhell and Turkey will improve their relationship", Ban told reporters in the Australian capital, Canberra. "Normal relationship will be very important in addressing all the situations in the Middle East, including the Middle East peace process", he said. Observers believe Ban's statement and the recent UN report that legitimizes Israhell's brutal siege of Gaza and its attack on a relief aid convoy reflect Tel Aviv's undue influence on the world body.
