ANKARA, Turkey, Shawwal 14, 1432, Sep 12, 2011, SPA - Turkey's prime minister has said Israel's raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla last year was "cause for war" but that his country showed "patience" and refrained from taking any action. In a recent Television interview carried by Anatolia news agency late Sunday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said the Israeli raid was "unlawful" as it occurred in international waters. Erdogan said "It is a cause for war, but we decided to act in line with Turkey's grandeur and showed patience." --SPA 14:49 LOCAL TIME 11:49 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/924258
