Turkey: Flotilla postponed on Israel requesta

U.N. report due out Tuesday investigating Israel’s deadly 2010 raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla has been delayed again, upon Israel’s request, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said Monday, denying Israeli media’s contrary claims, Agence France-Presse reported Monday. “The request to postpone [the announcement] came from Israel, like the previous requests,” Selcuk Unal, the spokesperson of the ministry told the Anatolia news agency. However, Israeli news portal Ynet reported Sunday that request for postponement came from Turkey, quoting anonymous sources in Jerusalem. The release of the report has been postponed at least twice this year to allow time for the two sides to reconcile their differences.
