Turkey's Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan storms out of a debate on the Middle East at the World Economic Forum in Davos January 29, 2009 as Israel's President Shimon Peres (2nd R), United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon (R), Arab League chief Amr Moussa (seen at far right in the screen) and Associate Editor and Columnist of The Washington Post David Ignatius (L) remain seated. Israel's President Shimon Peres had launched a fiery defence of his country's assault on Gaza over the past month and, with a raised voice and pointed finger, questioned what Erdogan would do if rockets were fired at Istanbul every night. As the debate was ending, Erdogan was cut short as he tried to respond. [Agencies] |
