Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan reacted to the remarks by Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman who compared him with Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Israel's hard-line foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman said, the Turkish prime minister was coming to resemble Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi.
He also is uneasy with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his criticism over Israeli attacks on occupied Palestinian lands.
"We've weathered Pharaoh, we'll overcome this period as well. It's his choice. The problem is not Turkey, the problem is Erdogan," Lieberman said.
He said, he was "damaging decades of excellent ties" and is "slowly turning into Gadhafi or Hugo Chavez," a reference to the leaders of Libya and Venezuela.
"Not my interlocutor"
Turkey strongly condemned Israel, that killed nearly 1500 Palestinians, a third of them children in the 22-day military aggression in Decemcer 2008 on Gaza and wounded more than 5,000 Palestinians.
Erdogan commented his remarks during his state visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Turkish PM told reporters at a news conference, "Lieberman is not my interlocutor".
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had said that "Allah would punish Israel over its crimes and called for Israel to be banned from the United Nations since it has never complied its repeated resolutions over the treatments of Palestinians in occupied territories.
On January 29, Erdogan stormed off a stage with Israeli President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He told Peres, "you know well how to kill people and babies", referring Israeli killing of Palestinian children in Gaza offensive and previous massacres.
