Mr.Doğan Işık, Charge d’Affaires of the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Tel Aviv made the statement in question upon instructions by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On this occasion, we would like to emphasize once again that the expressions attributed to Prime Minister H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan are totally untrue. Prime Minister H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has never made such expressions as alleged in the reports. We strongly condemn those asserting these baseless allegations.
