Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Deniz Baykal said yesterday that there was a war of religions in Lebanon, adding, "We think that it would be disadvantageous for Turkey to be part of this war."
Baykal stressed that all CHP deputies would be present at Parliament tomorrow when a motion on sending Turkish peacekeeping troops to Lebanon will be debated.
Commenting on the fight against terrorism, Baykal said that there was no need for a coordinator to be appointed in this fight. "Fighting terrorism is Turkey's business," he said. "We want the US to keep its promise concerning northern Iraq."
The US last week appointed a special envoy to coordinate efforts against the PKK, and Ankara is expected to soon do the same.
