Ankara: Turkey on Monday welcomed a United Nations probe into Israel's deadly raid on Gaza-bound aid ships and the Jewish state's decision to cooperate with the panel in charge, a government source told AFP.
"From the beginning, Turkey has demanded a UN-led international committee to investigate the raid... As a result of Turkey's initiatives with the UN, the United States and Europe, Israel has agreed to cooperate with the committee," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"This is a very important decision for Turkey," he added. "This committee is an important step in remedying the injustice Turkey has encountered in the raid."
