What exactly is Turkey or NATO going to do? There is only one country in that region with nuclear weapons. And just one country with a policy in place saying if their survival is threatened, they will use nuclear weapons.
If the international community has any balls, they will condemn the ships for their acts of stupidity that resulted in a bunch of people being killed, tell the protesters they should have listened to the peaceful resolution they were offered, and work with Israel to fix the reasons the blockade is in place.
