Mavi Marmara incident was not a Turkish initiative. The flotilla contained 6 ships from different countries; 663 passengers from 32 countries ( 38 from Greece, 31 UK, 30 Jordan, 28 Algeria ) plenty of respected representatives from Germany, Sweden, Kuwait even from Israel itself, nobel prize winner guy, press and these all makes it an international aid campaign to Gaza. Anyway IDF started raid and boarded the ships, killed 8 Turkish 1 American citizen. You know the story...
All casualties were Turk even the American was of Turkish descent. Anyway Erdogan won't lift a finger to terrorist israel but he has taken a militant stance towards Syria who have never attacked you?
And you know what Turkey did instead declaring war? Carried this issue to international arena, used it against Israel at every platform at any level, be it UN or its branches, stalemated him at every corner.... And what Israel did?
1- Apoligized for his misbehaviour
2- Accepted paying millions of dollars compensation to families of deads
3- Strong trumps against Israel
I connect the dots for you, don't push hard your beautiful brain cells; Turkey won the war without declaring war...
I don't want to derail the thread.but they do this crap to everyone, even to us (USS Liberty). After the damage is done they apologize, pay off victims and live to terrorize another day. At least I know the score. Don't delude yourself, when western interests demand it you will give way like the rest of the middle east monarchies. If you are good obedient boys, you might get in the EU which you want so desperately.
