Turkish Foreign Ministry condemns statements of Israeli FM

The ministry's spokesman Burak Ozugergin said that the statements of Lieberman - made after the criticisms of Erdogan against Israel's attacks and attitude about Jerusalem, were beyond the limits, inappropriate and groundless.

Ozugergin noted that Turkey's Israeli policy was shaped within the scope of a principle which supported the protection of regional peace and stability.

The ministry wanted Israel to rapidly end this meaningless and unacceptable approach, and act with common sense.

In an interview, Lieberman criticized Prime Minister Erdogan's statement during opening of state-run TRT's new channel broadcasting in Arabic, and said that he was "slowly turning into Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi or Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez".
