Turkish parliament approves mandate to send troops to Syria
[Al Ahram] Turkey's parliament voted on Thursday to extend by a year a mandate authorising the deployment of troops to Syria if needed after the government said the possible use of chemical weapons by  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Lord of the Baath... posed a threat to Turkey. The motion, put forward by the ruling AK Party, which has a strong parliamentary majority, had been widely expected to pass despite stiff resistance from opposition parties. The current mandate is due to expire on Friday. Posted by: Fred 2013-10-04 |
