Turkey’s Foreign Ministry, in its announcement, characterizes ‘Terrorist action’ her ‘Attack by Israeli forces’ Against the ships of the international fleet of Sumud activists approaching Gaza, with the aim of breaking Israeli blockade.

The Turkish Foreign Minister speaks of “Fascist and militaristic policies of the Netanyahu Genocystal Government” not only limited to the Palestinians.

He also notes that all the necessary steps have begun to liberate as soon as possible by Turkish citizens held by Israeli forces and heralds legal measures against those responsible for the business.

In detail, the announcement of the Turkish Foreign Ministry:

“The attack by Israeli forces in international waters against the World Sumud fleet, which had begun to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, is a terrorist act that grossly violates international law and endangers life.

This attack, targeting civilians who are moving in peaceful purposes without resorting to violence, proves that the fascist and militaristic policies of the Netanyahu Genocycular Government, which condemn Gaza to famine, are not limited to the Palestinians, but are targeted by the Palestinians.

We hope that this attack will not harm the efforts to achieve a truce in Gaza.

Since the beginning of the trip, we are in coordinating with other countries whose citizens are among the fleet participants. In this context, all the necessary steps have begun to release as soon as possible of our citizens and other passengers held by Israeli forces. We will also appeal to legal means to account for the perpetrators of the attack.

We call on the UN and all relevant international organizations to immediately take action to remove as soon as possible of Gaza’s illegal exclusion, providing humanitarian aid to the region and to ensure the freedom of navigation. “
