Ahmet Davutoglu said in an interview aired on Ulke TV late
Thursday that he believes Israel “has gained sufficient experience” after last
year’s Israeli raid on a flotilla that killed eight Turks and one
Turkish-American and sparked international outrage. Each side accused the other
of starting the violence.
A coalition of pro-Palestinian groups say a flotilla will
set sail in the third week of June. Israel has vowed to stop any attempt to
breach its sea blockade of Gaza.
A Turkish Islamic aid group said it expects the convoy to be
at least twice as big as the one that attempted to reach Gaza last year.
