Egemen Bagish leaves during the Israil’s president speech

Turkish Minister walks out of conference in bid to protest Israeli president.

Turkey's European Union Affairs Minister Egemen Bagıs walked out of an international conference in Ukraine on Friday when Israeli President Shimon Peres was about to take the stage for a speech.

Bagıs, who is in Ukraine to attend the eighth annual Yalta gathering with the theme of "Ukraine and the World: Common Challenges, Common Future," left the meeting hall shortly before Peres began addressing the participants.

The meeting at the historical Livadia Palace started with opening remarks by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Bagıs listened to Yanukovych, but left the conference hall when Peres was invited to the stage and refused to listen to his speech.
