Why is Turkey nervous about the flotilla report?

Turkey has asked Israel to agree to a toned-down version of the UN Secretary-General's report on last year's flotilla to Gaza, according to a senior government official in Jerusalem.

According to the official, the Turks are "very worried" about the harsh criticism of Turkey they expect the report to contain, and want Israel to agree to a softened version as part of a package deal to end the crisis between the two countries over the flotilla, which took place in May 2010.

The director general of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Feridun Sinirlioglu, conveyed Turkey's request in a secret meeting early last week in Geneva with Vice Prime Minister Moshe Ya'alon.

A draft of the report, due to be released within two weeks, was given to Israel and Turkey about six weeks ago. The committee determined that Israel's naval blockade of Gaza is in keeping with international law, and therefore its actions to stop the flotilla were also legal.

If true, Israel should not agree to softening the report. It is futile to try and appease this Turkish regime. They simply are enemies of Israel and they will stab Israel in the back at the first opportunity. No point in helping to minimise their embarrassment.

Just maybe the Turks have realised that Amadinejad is heading down a very DEAD end street. Now they need to soften their approach to try yet again to be accepted into Europe, or finish up in no mans land.
