Azerbaijan, Baku, June 4 / Trend T.Hajiyev /
The International Diaspora Center (IDC) has adopted a statement protesting Israel's capture of the "Flotilla of Freedom."
The center states that the Israeli government's actions may damage relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan. As the Israeli parliament submitted a resolution on the so-called "Armenian Genocide" for discussion, the country appears to have taken a misguided position, which will lead to its isolation in the region.
The IDC called on Azerbaijani-born Jews living in the country and abroad to sharply criticize the Israeli government's actions. The center protests the Israeli government and states that Azerbaijanis have and will always be close to Turkey.
The "Freedom Flotilla" consisted of six vessels carrying about 600 human rights activists from European and Arab countries. The intended to bring 10,000 tons of humanitarian supplies, including medicines and construction materials, to the Gaza Strip. According to media, about 19 people died during an Israeli special operation. Israel confirmed that 10 people died.
