TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Turkey's President Abdullah Gul speaks at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, September 24, 2010. Turkish President Abdullah Gul has called on the UN Human Rights Council to complete its probe into an Israeli attack on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla that killed nine Turkish activists.

Gul also urged Israel to take necessary steps regarding the deadly attack.
“Turkey cannot act as if nothing happened last May when Israeli troops stormed the aid flotilla. We expect Israel to take necessary measures. We also expect the
[UN] Human Rights Council to complete its probe into the incident,” Gul said at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York on Friday.
The Turkish president's comments came two days after an inquiry ordered by the UN rights council stated that there was clear evidence to support prosecutions against Israel for “willful killing” and torture committed when its troops attacked the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in international waters of the Mediterranean Sea early on May 31.
