Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed Turkish lawmakers after the meeting Tuesday morning, where he held an emergency meeting over "Israel" that was attended by the Turkish defense minister, intelligence chief and second in military command.

In an unprecedented language of caveat, Erdogan condemned "Israel's" raid which targeted 600 armless civilians who raised white flags, and whose only aim was to deliver goods and aid to the Palestinians who suffer a strict blockade since three years.

He emphasized the seriousness of this massacre which is a blow to global peace, as the fleet carried activists and civilians from different countries, religions and affiliations.

Turkey's PM called "Israel's" attack on a Gaza-bound Turkish aid vessel that killed nine people a "bloody massacre," and warned that no one should test Turkey's patience.


"This bloody massacre by "Israel" on ships that were taking humanitarian aid to Gaza deserves every kind of curse," He reiterated. 


He also added that the "Israeli" action was a blatant violation and attack "on international law, the conscience of humanity and world peace" and that "international flotilla to the Gaza Strip was legal, while the lethal "Israeli" response was a violation of the spirit of the UN."


Turkish Prime Minister emphasized that Turkey will not set a blind eye to what is happening in Gaza, calling for an immediate Siege lift off the Gaza Strip. 


"Turkey will not provide any compromises, and everyone must understand that our friendship is strong, but our rivalry is also very strong."


"What "Israel" did is very low, and it feels no shame for the crime it has committed. "Israel" does not admit to rights, and it threatens peace. "Israeli" excuses for its raid are unacceptable and that Zionist state must take responsibility of its actions. We have grown sick and tired of "Israel's" lies," He added. 


During his speech at the Ankara parliament, Erdogan went over the immediate steps taken by Turkey, which includes the cancellation of three military exercises, the return of sports athlete from "Israel", the presentation of a complaint before the Security Council, and the recalling of Turkey's ambassador to Tel Aviv back home.
