PRESS RELEASE - TURKEY


In order to resume regular relations between Israel and Turkey, Turkey has these demands to be met:

1.       Release of the civilian detainees
2.       An official apology to the people of Turkey and compensation for their actions towards our people
3.       An official apology for behavior towards the international community  
4.       Permanent halt in the illegal settlement construction
5.       Resume negotiations with the Palestine with the 1967 borders as the future Palestinian state
6.       Lift the siege of Gaza

Israel’s action has proven they are not willing to cooperate with the international community and that diplomatic pressure must be imposed on them if there is to be peace in the Middle East. Turkey wishes for a normalization of ties, and sees many areas of cooperation between Israel and Turkey, but cannot stand by while the people of Gaza languish under an unjust siege and our citizens are held with impunity and tortured.
