The Palestine National Administration Government, which was
established in accordance with the results of Palestine
Legislative Council elections held on January 25, 2006, was
given a vote of confidence by the Palestine Legislative
Council on March 28, 2006.
We desire that the new government be for the good of the

We hope that the Palestinian government will handle the
urgent issues that are on the agenda with a responsible and
constructive understanding and that violent acts, blood and

At this stage, the international community should assume an

Turkey, in this new period starting with the election of the

share to contribute to this.
