Davutoglu spurns Israeli decision to reject intl inquiry into Gaza flotilla attack

Israel's failure to support an international commission to look into its attack last month on a Gaza aid flotilla which left nine Turks dead, favoring instead its own investigation, could lead Ankara to reevaluate bilateral relations, said Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu yesterday. "If an international commission isn't set up and Turkey's very rightful demands are ignored, surely Turkey has the right to unilaterally evaluate its relations with Israel," Davutoglu told reporters after meeting with his Senegalese counterpart Madicke Niang. The Foreign Ministry also condemned Israel's decision, saying that a purely Israeli inquiry would not be impartial, transparent or credible.
