Turkey: Aid no sign of improved ties
Turkey’s decision to send two firefighting planes to Israel to assist in battling the Carmel blaze does not attest to improved ties with the Jewish state, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says.
“This step must not be confused with other problems we have with Israel,” the Turkish PM said. “The ties between us will not improve until they officially apologize and compensate us.” (News agencies)
