Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyeb Erdogan announced on Sunday that his country's broken relations with "Israel" "can only be mended if the Jewish state stops blocking aid flotillas and ends the embargo of Gaza", Agence France Presse reported.

Furthermore, Erdogan affirmed that Turkey has been very patient with "Israel", despite the deterioration in the bilateral relations after the brutal "Israeli" attack on the Gaza-bound Turkish flotilla.
"I can clearly and frankly state that the relations between "Israel" and Turkey has been broken on the basis of an issue that is being raised by "Israel", which began when the flotilla bearing humanitarian aid was trying to get to Gaza.

It had passengers from 33 different countries and was attacked both from the sea and the air", Turkish PM stated to CNN's "GPS" program, according to AFP.
He further confirmed, "We have been very patient. We demand they apologize, pay compensation and eliminate the embargo on Gaza once and for all".
On this level, he also indicated that if the said demands are not met, then the relations between Turkey and "Israel" will never be restored to normal again.
Referring to future Gaza-bound aid flotillas, Erdogan reiterated his country's will to send warships to accompany future aid fleets.

"If you insist on creating a source of unrest, you are bound to become lonelier and lonelier", the Turkish PM added addressing the "Israeli" enemy.
