>Turkish government submitted a motion to the Parliament, to extend the presence of Turkish warships in Gulf of Aden for one year.
Last year in early February, Parliament approved the government’s wish about sending a warship to Gulf of Aden and adjacent waters, in order to, participate the multinational efforts of anti-piracy. But duration of that mandate was limited to one year.
The motion to extend the precense of Turkish armed forces in the region, will be voted on 2 February 2010.
I do not expect any surprises and I think it is almost certain that this motion will be accepted.
