Palmer report on flotilla incident – Transcript of SecGen press encounter – Press transcript (excerpts)

/…

Q: Can you tell us about the [Geoffrey] Palmer report on the flotilla incident? When are you going to receive the report and are you intending to make it public soon?

SG: This is not directly related, but as I have already issued a statement that I have decided to postpone, to give some more time, to both the Governments of Israel and Turkey, so that they could come out with a harmonious agreement to deal with this flotilla case. It is important that these two countries improve their bilateral relationship, overcoming this tragic flotilla incident. That is why I have given additional time, but as we are approaching the General Assembly, there is very limited time, so we will let you know.
