The arrival of Gaza flotilla activists in Turkey.

The first groups of pro-Palestinian activists who were on board the "Global Freedom Flotilla" and were detained by Israel while sailing towards the Gaza Strip have begun to arrive in Turkey after being deported from the Israeli state, according to journalists from the French Press Agency on Thursday.

The first plane carrying these activists arrived at Istanbul's Atatürk International Airport, with two more flights to follow, organized by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Ramon Airport in southern Israel.
