Any investigation launched unilaterally by Israel would not be of any value, the minister said, adding that Ankara is insistent that the UN should directly supervise any such investigation committee with the participation of Turkey and Israel.
Turkey will be entitled to re-consider its relations with Israel and impose unilateral sanctions in the event its repeated demands for an international investigative committee are ignored.
Ankara is impatiently waiting for the world community to adopt objective procedures in this issue, Davutoglu said, adding that participation of two foreigners in the Israeli committee did not grant it an international feature.

DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Hamas has declared its rejection of the Israeli decision to form a local investigation committee to probe its own attack on the Freedom Flotilla in international waters that left nine Turkish activists dead and tens others wounded.
Hamas in a statement on Monday said that the decision was a blatant attempt to cover up for its "terrorist" operation and "piracy".
It said that the formation of the committee contradicts the principle of neutrality and integrity as called for by the UN Security Council's presidential resolution, adding, "It was not logical that the culprit would investigate himself".
The committee is not credible and serves as an attempt to escape international justice, Hamas charged, calling on the UN and freedom loving people to establish an independent committee to bring the pirates and Zionist war criminals to account.
