Turkish Demo Protesting Peres Azerbaijan Visit: UN Fact Finding War Crimes In Gaza
29 June 2009
A group of Turkish activists on Sunday demonstrated in front of the Azerbaijan consulate in Istanbul to protest the visit by Israeli president Shimon Peres to Baku. Turkish writer Ahmet Farul said in a statement at the demo that Israel's popularity was dwindling worldwide, and its ugly image was exposed before the world as a result of its latest war on Gaza. He underlined that the Azeri government's invitation to Peres was allowing Israel to refurbish its image and reactivate its diplomacy. The short history of Israel is full of massacres and aggression but still it could break the Islamic world's isolation due to the "treachery" of certain governments, which do not represent their Islamic peoples, Farul said. Other speakers called on the Islamic countries to unite their lines against the Israeli aggressive policies. Demonstrators laid a black wreath at the outside gate of the Azeri consulate at the end of the rally. UN fact finding mission initiates hearing sessions with war victims in Gaza The UN fact-finding mission sent to the Gaza Strip held Sunday its first public hearing session with victims of the Israeli war and listened to testimonies of two of them. The public hearings are scheduled to continue for two days. One of the two citizens called Moussa Al-Sailawi, 91, presented his testimony about the Israeli bombing of a Mosque in Jabaliya which killed 17 civilians including his son and four other members of his family. The mission intends to listen to testimonies of dozens of other victims in addition to international experts and eyewitnesses in order to be able to report about the Israeli war crimes committed during 22 days in Gaza. The mission headed by South African judge Richard Goldstone is expected to finish its report at the beginning of August and to publish the investigation results the following month. The mission visited 40 different sites in Gaza and talked to dozens of witnesses and relatives of victims including the family of Al-Sammouni who lost 29 of their members.
