Turkey: Activists Killed in 2010 Flotilla Incident "Should Have Foreseen...the Risk"
(Hurriyet-Turkey) Sevil Erkus - Compensation worth $20 million provided by Israel over the killing of Turkish activists onboard the Mavi Marmara in May 2010 has yet to be paid. The Turkish Finance Ministry told a court that it "rejected the exorbitant amount of material and moral compensation asked" by the families. The ministry said the victims "should have foreseen that they may be subject to such an attack because the problems between the Israeli state and Gaza are well-known. They took the risk of any attack or intervention."
