Turkish PM Demands Israeli Apology
Pyongyang, July 16 (KCNA) -- Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on July 8 that Turkish-Israeli relations would not normalize if Israel did not apologize.

He made the remarks while reading out the government program at the parliament.

Erdogan said nobody could think of any normalization in the Turkish-Israeli relations unless Israel made an official apology, paid compensation to relatives of those who lost their lives in last year's Gaza-bound flotilla attack, and lifted the embargo on Gaza.

He said the Turkish government would continue to follow the developments regarding the Israeli attack on the flotilla.
