Turkey to Challenge Gaza Blockade at International Court of Justice
(Guardian-UK) David Batty - Turkey's foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Ankara would challenge the Gaza blockade at the International Court of Justice. He told Turkey's state-run TRT television: "Let the International Court of Justice decide. We are starting the necessary legal procedures this coming week." Israeli deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon told Israeli TV: "The problem here is on the Turkish side....I think we need to say to the Turks: as far as we are concerned, this saga is behind us. Now we need to cooperate. Lack of cooperation harms not only us, but Turkey as well."
