Lieberman: Humiliation of Turkish envoy a mistake
None
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman addressed Israel's diplomatic row with Turkey for the first time, saying, "In essence, (Israel's) protest was justified."
However, the FM admitted that the public humiliation of the Turkish Ambassador Oguz Celikkol by Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon was a mistake. "I hope we can bring things back to the way they were," said Lieberman following a meeting in Jerusalem with his Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Stoere. (Attila Somfalvi)
