Gaza flotilla: Turkey to take Israel to UN court


Turkey has said it will contact Israel's blockade of Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
It is the latest sign of strain between the two countries since last year's Israeli action against ships heading for Gaza, in which nine Turkish people were killed.
Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu said Turkey can not accept the findings of a UN report which said Israel's blockade of Gaza was a legal security measure.
His comments came a day after Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador.Turkey also halted military  cooperation with Israel.
