Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmad Davutoglu stated that the "Israeli" shipment of the portable prefabricated houses to the Turkish earthquake-hit area does not chance Ankara's position from the "Israeli" government.

After rejecting "Israeli" help many times, Turkey accepted on Tuesday aid from the "Israeli" enemy.
However, in an interview with Today's Zaman Turkish newspaper on Thursday, Minister Davutoglu affirmed that Ankara's acceptance of the "Israeli" aid does not signal any improvement in diplomatic ties, indicating in would not change its "Principles Position".

Also, Davutoglu was quoted by the Turkish daily saying that the "political conditions remain", with reference to his country's demands that "Israel" formally apologizes for its brutal raid against the Freedom Flotilla, killing 9 Turkish activists.

Furthermore, Davutoglu reiterated that the "Israeli" aid shipment will not alleviate the tense ties between Ankara and Tel Aviv.
