Turkey has blocked the participation of Israel in a key NATO
summit that will take place in Chicago on May 20 and 21, despite calls
from influential allies including the United States, Western diplomatic
have sources told the Hürriyet Daily News. The veto was conveyed to the NATO bodies by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu during the Alliance’s meeting last week in Brussels.
“There will be no Israeli presence at the NATO meeting unless they issue a formal apology and pay compensation for the Turkish citizens their commandos killed in international waters” a senior Turkish official told the Daily News.
“There are demands from us for the removal of our veto, but this is out of question.”
“Those countries who wish to see normalization in ties between Turkey and Israel should advise Israel to apologize and to compensate the killing of Turks in international waters,” the official said.
