"Secret ballot will take place and some our colleagues are expected to vote against the government's proposal. However I think the parliament will approve the proposal," Aleddin Boyukkaya, OSCE Parliament Assembly member and Turkish ruling AKP party parliamentarian from Istanbul told APA Turkey bureau. He stated the necessity of deploying peacekeeping forces to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone.
"We had influenced the region for 600 years and Turkey should not be uninvolved in there matters," he said.
He also commented on the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. "Azerbaijan cannot possibly make a trade-off, because its territories have been occupied. There is also genocide against Azerbaijanis. Azerbaijan wants to liberate its territories and to establish a fair peace," he said.
"OSCE cannot impose sanctions, it can only reach a consensus. Azerbaijan should be active in this process. We must oppress Armenians. Azerbaijani parliamentarians expressed their position neatly in the latest meeting in Brussels. We share the same view. Armenia still wants to hold a referendum in Nagorno Karabakh. It is not possible. They want to confuse the society. The OSCE Minsk Group delays the solution of the conflict with groundless reasons. We must control the process," the parliamentarian said.
Mr.Boyukkaya also mentioned Lebanese Armenians' protest against the arrival of Turkish peacekeepers.
"Armenians know that if Turkish peacekeeping forces come to Lebanon, the processes will change there. That is why they are so dissatisfied with this matter," he said.
