ANKARA - Turkey condemned Israeli Army's operation in Gaza Strip in which a number of people were killed and many others were injured.
Releasing a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday, ''we regret that a number of people including civilians were killed and many others were injured as a result of operations, which were launched by the Israeli Army in Gaza Strip. We condemn these operations.''
''Terrorist actions cannot be prevented with use of extreme force. Such an attitude will harm hopes to settle peace in the region. We call on both sides to reach a peaceful solution to the problems,'' the statement added.
