Thats a shame, source?
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will not ride in an aid flotilla bound for Gaza, the country's foreign minister told CNN Sunday.
"No. No. No, no, no, no. Prime Minister Erdogan doesn't have such an intention," Ahmet Davutoglu said in an interview, nearly a week after nine civilians were killed in an Israeli raid on a previous flotilla.
He stressed that the aid shipment was "absolutely" an effort of aid groups and not sponsored by the Turkish government.
"As the Turkish government, we didn't encourage them, but it was a civilian activity," he said.
But, Davutoglu said, Turkey was concerned about the use of force against its civilians.
"If there is a new attempt again within the framework of this civilian approach, we cannot say anything against them. But if another country attacks this civilian convoy and kills our citizens, of course, we have full right to ask why," he said.

Turkey going to war with Israel neither makes sense nor it benefits the supresd palesitnians. it will never be good for turkey as well. they are doing great by keeping pressure deplomatically, that will give alot more positive result than the war.
Turkey is not going to war, its just going to feed Palestinians.
An Armed intervention seems must because feeding the people of Gaza looks a job too difficult for simple Humanitarian workers. (We already saw what happened with the freedom flotilla)
Whats wrong in showcasing a good deed? I mean pro-Israelis complain why they are getting caught committing human rights abuses.Well as per Israeli official sources, they are letting through a certain amount of food and basic necessity items. They are scanning all the incoming aid to check whether some arms has been smuggled through for Hamas, which they wont like for obvious reasons.
Aid has been going through and will keep going through to Gaza. If the cursed flotilla commander would have agreed to cooperate the Israeli commandos then these ill fate would not have happened.
I am strictly against any armed conflicts in that region as that would do people of Gaza more harm.
Again, please pardon my ignorance, but is it common to have a couple of journalists on board in each aid ship? Or is it that they wanted to showcase this incident by having some?
