Istanbul, Turkey (CNN) — Israel’s resistance to an independent, international investigation into its deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid ship is “another proof of their guilt,” Turkey’s foreign minister said Sunday.

Speaking on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu compared last week’s the storming of the aid ship Mavi Marmara to pirate raids off Somalia. The raid killed nine Turkish pro-Palestinian activists, including one with Turkish-American dual citizenship, and left several Israeli troops wounded.

“We want to know the facts,” Davutoglu said. “If Israel rejects these, it means it’s also another proof of their guilt. They are not self-confident to face the facts. We are ready.”
