Arinc: There Is No Motion Which Was Sent From Prime Ministry To Parliament At The Moment

ISTANBUL - Parliament Speaker Bulent Arinc said on Tuesday that there was no motion which was sent from Prime Ministry to the parliament at the moment.
Prior to his departure for Ankara, Arinc replied to questions of reporters at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport.
When asked whether it was possible that motion would come to the parliament on Tuesday, Arinc said, ''there is no motion which was sent from Prime Ministry to the parliament at the moment. The place which will send the motion to the parliament knows whether it will come to the parliament or not.''
When reminded about news stories saying that some ministers did not want to sign the motion, Arinc said, ''everything is happening publicly. Deputy Prime Minister explained deliberations at the meeting of Council of Ministers. It is a great courage. This issue is not an issue on which decision can be taken easily. Our friends made some criticisms. They did not consider it sufficient. They shared it with public opinion. Decisions of Council of Ministers are taken unanimously. Besides prime minister, all ministers should sign the decision to be developed. If such a motion comes to the parliament, the parliament will do what is necessary in accordance with bylaw.''
