PROTOCOLS EVOKE PROTESTS IN TURKISH PARLIAMENT
Ankara, 21 October (AZERTAC). Today’s session of Grand National Assembly of Turkey (GNAT) heard the report of FM Ahmet Davutoglu related to the protocols signed with Armenia.
Speakers from opposition parties, in particular, Oktay Vural (MHP) claimed that the protocols were hidden from the will of the Turkish people still during discussions. The opening of borders, he said, was stated 161 days ago at the USA Congress. And later, the public and parliamentarians of Turkey were wrongly informed about it. The protocols contradict interests of the Turkic nation, he emphasized. “Is Armenia not the occupant of the Azerbaijani lands? Who has committed massacre in Khojali?”, the MP asked. He called all these the writing of “the history of surrender”.
MP from CHP Shukru Alakdag, independent MP Masud Yilmaz have protested out-of-agenda discussion of the protocols in parliament. MHP supporter Kamil Sipahi called the foreign policy of the Turkish Government as incorrect. According to him, it was inadmissible to insult the flag of Azerbaijan. According to MP Ms. Shenol Bal, the shameful protocols had not to be brought to the Assembly at all. “This is disrespect to the future generations as well”, she underlined.
When the floor was taken by the MP from the ruling party to hold up the protocols, the opposition party supporters left the session hall.
