Turkey demands Israel explain general's remarks
Turkey's foreign ministry has protested to Israel over an IDF general's remarks criticizing Turkey.
The ministry says it summoned Israeli Ambassador Gabby Levy on Saturday to discuss comments made Feb. 10 by Israel's Maj. Gen. Avi Mizrahi. Turkish media says the Israeli general accused Turkey of massacring Armenians, oppressing Kurds and occupying Cyprus in an apparent response to Turkey's prime minister, who scolded President Shimon Peres over the Gaza war at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
