Bulent Yildirim, the head of the Turkish charitable society IHH, has said that the Israeli army's allegation that it was defending itself during its "terrorist" attack on the Freedom Flotilla was nothing but a big lie.
He told the PIC on Monday that the Israeli attack on the flotilla "was meant as a revenge step against Turkish premier Recep Erdogan for his anti Israeli occupation policies".
Yildirim revealed that the IHH was planning to take legal action against Israel, adding that he met with lawyers from 23 countries and consulted with them over the issue.
He noted that the volunteers, who were aboard the flotilla, from 36 countries also plan to file lawsuits against Israel.
The Israeli attack at international waters killed nine Turkish activists and wounded tens others on 31st May.
