SUBJECT: TURKISH FOREIGN MINISTRY STATEMENT ON PALESTINIAN
GOVERNMENT FORMATION
The Turkish Foreign Ministry made the following announcement
March 30 concerning the formation of a government in the
Palestinian Territories. Informal embassy translation
follows.
Begin Text:
March 30, 2006
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
Palestinian people.
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
tears in the region will end.
At this stage, the international community should assume an
unbiased approach, giving the new Palestinian government the
opportunity to fulfill its obligations.
Turkey, in this new period starting with the election of the
Legislative Council in Palestine, sincerely wishes that an
environment will be created which will provide the necessary
conditions to accelerate reform and re-structuring efforts
and invigorate the peace process. Our country will do its
share to contribute to this.
