![He [Erdogan] has crept up to the edge talking about mistakes by pilots. But he also knows that with leaders like himself and Vladimir Putin, apologies may not be the answer. Just look at Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu apologized years ago to Erdogan over this incident off the coast of Gaza in which Turkish people died onboard an aid ship. And only just now is that relationship at least in talks to be improved.](/assets/img/quote-photos/he-erdogan-has-crept-up-to-the-edge-talking-about-mistakes-by-pilots-but-he-al.jpg)
