Turkish FM quits Munich summit over Israeli presence

[deadmau5e]

Turkey's foreign minister has withdrawn from a security conference in Munich after Israeli officials were invited.

Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters he had pulled out after an Israeli delegation was asked to attend a session on the Middle East at the last minute.

He said his decision was not linked to Turkey's relationship with Germany.

Ties between Israel and Turkey have been strained since a deadly 2010 Israeli raid on a Turkish ship trying to break Israel's blockade of Gaza.

Nine Turkish pro-Palestinian activists were killed in clashes with Israeli commandos, who boarded the Mavi Marmara when the ship, which was leading a convoy carrying aid, refused to stop.

Israel has maintained a naval blockade of Gaza since 2007, part of what it says are necessary security measures against the militant Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Speaking at a news conference in Berlin, Mr Cavusoglu said a collective decision had been taken to withdraw from the joint session.

"I was going to participate in the conference but we decided not to after they included the Israeli representatives in the Middle East session," he told reporters.

Strained
Relations between the Israeli and Turkish governments have been particularly fraught since the deadly raid on 31 May 2010.

Israeli soldiers boarded the Mavi Marmara, which was leading a flotilla containing five other vessels, in international waters, around 130km (80 miles) from Israel's coast. . Clashes ensued, leaving nine activists dead and 10 soldiers injured.

The then Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Israel had committed a "bloody massacre" and withdrew his country's ambassador.

In 2009, Mr Erdogan stormed off the stage during a debate with then Israeli President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Last year, Mr Erdogan, now the Turkish president, said relations between the two countries would not improve as long as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remained in power.

While diplomatic ties between the two governments remain difficult, trade between Israel and Turkey has risen by almost 50% since 2009, and was worth more than $5.6bn (€4.9bn, £3.7bn) in 2014 according to official Turkish government figures.

Last July, Ehud Cohen, head of foreign trade at the Israeli economy ministry, said that trade between the two countries was "growing steadily", and that his government "aims to increase exports to Turkey and encourage Turkish investment in Israel."

Why does Turkiye even care about Palestine? The Arabs who share the same culture and language have turned their backs to them why does Turkiye feel that is needs to give support?

You had great relations with Israel. Had joint training and shared intelligence with the nation that has the best capabilities in the region. Threw that away. For what? Erdogan to make a political point?

Deaths of 9 turkish nationals doesn't hold any value ? I mean it was Israeli Tier 1 special forces who are excelled in Krav maga boarded the ships. They allege there operators were attacked by hooligans with pipes and what not and instead of subduing them through krav maga, they resorted to bullets. So do you like to befriend with trigger happy people ?

The silly notion of Political point scoring and accusing Erdogan for doing all this shyte to gain votes and propagating the believe Erdo doesnt care about the deaths of turkish nationals .

I thought you had the IQ of figuring out what Bratva post meant and how it was related to your reply but you got a biased mind and critical thinking and common sense dies in a biased mind.


If it was Ataturk in place of Erdogan, he would have done the same thing erdo is doing.

No,if it was Ataturk in place of Erdogan,there would never have been an organisation like the IHH.
The state would have sent help and Israel would never have boarded such a ship.
See,your lack of knowledge of the Turks and Turkiye makes you come up with such ridiculous statements.
Im not biased,im a realist and rational thinker.
If Erdogan would be the man you think he is,i would have been the first in line to acknowledge that but unfortunately,he is not.
You are biased against Israel and thats why without examining the situation,the cause,the reason you come up with the obvious namely;they killed 9 Turks.
Sometimes its better to do some research first,think about it.

International maritime law permit intervention in international waters if believed that craft is bound to break blockade.

You keep defending Israel and its action, You as a Turk shouldn't be doing that, Because they have no moral ground what so ever. Like the Germans who were backstabbed in ww1, We were also backstabbed during the end of the Ottoman Empire. Only in comparison with the germans, the backstab we wen't trough was quite long in decades. You can call me whatever you want, but your lack of essential historical back reading is making you hold wrong opinions.

Than this quote, IF IT WAS ATATURK. I Invite research what happened to the money which the muslims of Former India donated. I Dare you.

And if you tell yourself you are a rational thinker, Than I invite again to get out of line and start looking in the the work of Ernst Zundel and David Irving. Pretty much the 2 most hated people on earth by a certain group. Because they use Facts.
