If the Prime Minister finds it necessary we will call for an extraordinary session of the Parliament” Töre said.

Commenting on the municipalities’ Law, Töre said “the Ad Hoc Committee has prepared a report. We will see the results of the report; whether the government and opposition parties will work together on this issue? Or whether it will be conducted by the Committee on Administrative, Public and Health Affairs? These will all be clarified soon.”

Also referring to President Ersin Tatar’s request for the Cyprus issue to be discussed at an extraordinary session in parliament, Töre said that Tatar will brief the parliament on the details of the proposals submitted to the Greek Cypriot leader.
