Turkey may cut ties with Israel

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said that Ankara does not exclude the possibility of cutting relations with Israel. He said that while the measure was a last resort, Turkey would break diplomatic ties with Israel if Tel Aviv continues to refuse to apologize for a recent deadly attack on Gaza-bound aid vessels and refuses to participate in an international investigation into the incident, ITAR-TASS reports. He also said Turkey expects Israel to pay compensation to the relatives of those Turkish nationals killed in the attack.
