Ankara: Turkish army chief Ilker Basbug told his Israeli counterpart Monday that the deadly raid on the Gaza-bound aid fleet was “grave and unacceptable”, the Turkish military said.
The two men spoke on the telephone after Israeli chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi called Basbug to brief him of the Israeli operation on the fleet of ships carrying supplies to the Gaza Strip.
“During the conversation, Basbug told the Israeli chief of staff that the use of military force in the incident in international waters was grave and unacceptable,” said a brief statement on the army’s Internet site.
Basbug also said that the Israeli operation “had led to very serious consequences,” the statement added
