Turkey's prime minister has urged Arab nations to unite and step-up efforts to end Israel's blockade on the Gaza Strip.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan made the appeal at a Turkey-Arab economic forum, currently being held in Istanbul.
He also repeated calls for an international investigation into the Israeli raid on Gaza-bound aid ships.
"Are we going to remain silent over the murder of nine people? We can't
turn a blind eye to this banditry in international waters,'' Erdogan told officials from 21 Arab countries on Thursday, referring to Israel's raid on a Turkish aid ship that claimed the lives of nine Turks.
