Deputy Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Mehmet Saglam told journalists in Baku that the Turkish parliament will, at the right time, make a decision related to the recognition of Khojaly genocide.
He noted that there were no clashes of opinion on this issue between the opposition and the authorities in the Parliament, as the Turkish Parliament always makes decisions, considering Azerbaijan’s interests.
“Of course, foreign policy is conducted by the Foreign Ministry and the government. Up till now, they have always maintained Azerbaijan’s interests in the Parliament and we support them.” he said
