"We will advise our citizens about the possible consequences," said Davutoglu in a Turkish television channel.

"Wait for Turkey to do something that Western countries can not do is a reflection of the view that Turkey borders democratic freedom. We will take steps that we took last year, but the biggest problem with this issue is the Israeli blockade said the minister.
He said that the Turkish position has been transmitted through the ambassador of Israel in Ankara.
