Turkey slams Israel for 'bloody massacre'

By the CNN Wire Staff


(CNN) -- Israel's closest Muslim ally accused the Jewish state Tuesday of a "bloody massacre" against an aid flotilla of six ships carrying humanitarian goods bound for blockaded Gaza.
"We see clear murder taking place, and we see an aggressive country" that's not regretting this, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday in a parliamentary address. "We're sick and tired of your lies. Be honest".
Also Tuesday, the United Nations Security Council called for a "prompt, impartial, credible and transparent" investigation into the raid by Israeli forces.
In a statement, the 15-member council said it regretted the loss of lives on the flotilla and condemned the actions that led to the deaths on Monday.
