Erdogan: Release detainees or tension between states will grow
None
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on Israel to release all civilians detained following the raid on the flotilla to Gaza, "or this will cause tensions between the states to rise".
Speaking before the parliament in Ankara Erdogan added, "The Israeli government's actions are hurting its people before anyone else. The issue here is not fighting off terror. We will not turn our backs on Gaza and continue to help it." (Roee Nahmias)
