A compensation deal for Turkish victims of a deadly Israeli raid on a Gaza aid flotilla four years ago will soon be signed, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said Tuesday.

 “We have received a final agreement document from Israel,” Arinc was quoted as saying by Hurriyet newspaper.

After next Sunday's local elections, “our first job will be making sure the compensation is bound by a legal document,” the official added.

Talks on compensation over the nine Turks killed in the raid began in March 2013 after 'Israel' extended a formal apology to Ankara.
