Turkey: We don't mix politics, humanitarian issues

Turkish foreign ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal on Friday stated that there was no change in Turkey's demands from Israel following Israel's earthquake aid offer – including an apology over the Gaza flotilla incident. "We do not mix humanitarian issues and political issues, he stressed.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu noted on Thursday that the Israel's enlistment in the earthquake aid efforts would not lead to a change in relations and that the conditions placed by Turkey for the restoration of diplomatic ties still stand. (AFP)
