Davutoglu goes for broke
If Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is speaking for his country's government - and there is no reason to believe that he is not - it seems unlikely that Israel and Turkey will be reconciling their differences anytime soon. Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has dismissed arguments over the wording of an expected apology from Israel to Turkey, stressing that such arguments serve to water down Turkey’s demands for normalizing relations with Israel, which are extremely clear.The Israeli government is willing to go a long way to repair its relations with Turkey (for reasons that much of Israel's population does not understand), but the one thing they won't do is create a situation where by what they say, IDF soldiers could face criminal charges abroad. Of course, that's exactly what the Turks are trying to cause to happen. So good bye Turkey, we'll continue to give our tourism business to Greece and Bulgaria.
“An apology is an apology. There is no classification of an apology,” Davutoğlu was quoted as saying in remarks published in the Turkish daily newspaper Yeni Şafak on Sunday. His comments came while speaking with a group of journalists on board a plane en route to Ashgabat early Saturday morning.
“What we mean is offering an apology to the Turkish people and the state,” Davutoğlu said when asked whether Turkey expects Israel to offer the apology to Turkish people or the state.

Three words our government should have said to Turkey a long time ago:
"Go f*** yourselves!"
This is just ridiculous.
"IDF soldiers could face criminal charges abroad"
As I always say, the easiest way to get rid of any threat whatsoever of prosecuting IDF soldiers for any reason is to get patsies to file lots of complaints against all the other countries engaging in any kind of war (and just about all of which have lower standards of behaviour than the IDF).
Once the courts are bogged down, and the foreign relations of the hosting government are damaged, the laws will be changed in a jiffy to make prosecuting foreign individuals much much harder, if possible at all.
Jews are good dhimmis in the face of Muslim arrogance. You can take the Jew out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the Jew.
I concur with Shy Guy: that's all the apology the Turks should expect from Israel. Its a sufficient one!
