Turkish PM returns to hero's welcome after Gaza row
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan received a hero's welcome on his return to Istanbul on Friday after he stormed out of a heated debate on Israel's Gaza offensive at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Thousands of people gathered at Istanbul's Ataturk airport to greet Erdogan when he returned, waving Turkish and Palestinian flags and chanting his name. After a fiery exchange with Israeli President Shimon Peres, Erdogan said he might never return to the annual gathering of the rich and powerful in the Swiss resort. (Reuters)
