In a televised address earlier Thursday, Gul assured that the legislative measure did not imply Turkey would enter a war against Iraq, or that Turkish troops would not take part in combat.
Intr-o alocutiune televizata in cursul zilei de joi, Gul a promis ca decizia legislativului nu inseamna ca Turcia se angajeaza in razboi impotriva Irakului si nici sa ia parte la lupta.
