Turkish Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Sahin said March 22 that countries leading the UN Security Council resolution should pay attention to the fact that military action in Libya by the western coalition hit civilians, Anatolia news agency reported. He said NATO would hold an important meeting March 22 and that Turkey, who’s objections on the issue are right, was following developments carefully. Turkish State Minister and Chief Negotiator for EU talks, Egemen Bagis said a European leader began his election campaign by organizing a meeting that led to air strikes against Libya. Bagis added that the leader acted before a NATO decision, and that the act was based on his subjective evaluation of a United Nations resolution.
