New York, May 31, 2010, SPA -- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned today Israeli Attack on Gaza Aid Flotilla. In a statement, he said «I am shocked by reports of killing of people in boats carrying supply to Gaza. I heard the ships were in international water. That is very bad.» He called for a «thorough investigation.» French President Nicolas Sarkozy condemned «the disproportionate use of force» against the flotilla. «All light must be shed on the circumstances of this tragedy, which underlines the urgency of resuming peace talks,» he said in a statement quoted by the Associated Press. Greece suspended a military exercise with Israel and postponed a visit by Israel's air force chief. Greece, Egypt, Sweden, Spain and Denmark summoned Israel's ambassadors demanding explanations for the violence. But the strongest reaction came from Turkey. Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc called Israel's actions «piracy» and said Turkey is withdrawing its ambassador on Monday as well as canceling three joint military drills and calling on the U.N. Security Council to convene in an emergency session about Israel. Turkey is currently a member of the council. «I strongly condemn the use of force by Israeli military forces on an aid convoy composed of 32 countries, including Turkey,» Arinc said. «This attack must not remain unanswered.» He also said a Turkish youth soccer team currently in Israel would be brought home. The president of Iran called the raid «an inhuman act.» «All in all, these (actions) only bring closer the end of the miserable and false regime» in Israel, President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad said, according to state TV. --MORE 15:10 LOCAL TIME 12:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/787173
