Turkey expects respect for human rights from Israel, FM says | Turkish Forum

"Turkey expects respect for human rights from Israel, FM says

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said Friday respect for human rights and human lives was a universal value and expressed expectations that other countries would show the same respect, referring to Israel.

His remarks came at a joint press conference in Ankara with his counterpart from Mexico, Patricia Espinosa, in response to a question about the government’s failure to invite the Israeli ambassador to Turkey to a traditional fast-breaking Ramadan dinner, or iftar, hosted Thursday by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for ambassadors in the capital."
