Turkey's ruling 'Islamist' AKP party rejects parliamentary motion to probe ISIL. (HD).
A parliamentary motion asking for an inquiry into the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's (ISIL) activities inside Turkey has been rejected by the votes from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
Nazmi Gür, a deputy from the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) who forwarded the motion late Feb. 20, said that the result of the parliamentary vote was "a sign that the Turkish government still refrains from taking a clear position against ISIL."
"This policy brings serious risks about Turkey's national security," the main opposition Republican's People Party (CHP) deputy Refik Eryılmaz said.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu discussed security and political developments in Iraq and region with Iraqi Vice President Usama al-Nujayfi in a phone call late Feb. 20, according to a statement made by al-Nujayfi's office. The struggle against ISIL was also on the agenda.
"We acknowledge Turkey's support to Iraq against terrorism attacks. We request Turkey's role to be more active," al-Nujayfi said in the statement. Hmmm.....here you have a 'Sometimes NATO ally' Holding the umbrella above known terrorists their heads. Read the full story here.
