Mavi Marmara Freedom and Solidarity Association called on the Turkish government to press for the removal of the Israeli blockade on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as one of its core three demands for resuming ties with Israel.
Commenting on the ongoing Israeli-Turkish talks for resuming ties between the two countries, the Turkish association stressed in its statement that “resuming normalization with Israel will ultimately hurt Palestine, Turkey, and the entire Islamic Nation.”
"We will work by all possible means to foil any attempt to drop the lawsuits brought against those involved in Mavi Marmara attack," the statement said.
Turkey‘s Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said late Friday during a visit to New York that only one of three Turkish conditions for renewing full diplomatic relations with Israel have been met, and talks are still ongoing.
"One of our conditions has been met. There are ongoing talks at expert level to fulfill the other two," Çavuşoğlu was quoted as saying by Anadolu news agency.
In summer 2010, Israeli Navy Forces brutally attacked the Freedom Flotilla Convey, compromised of six boats, while sailing in international waters on its way to Gaza. On Mavi Marmara, the convoy's flagship, Israeli soldiers murdered ten unarmed Turkish activists and injured 40 others.
