The Turkish Grand National Assembly, as a defender of the rule of law, fundamental rights and freedoms, is one of the most important institutions of the Turkish state. On this occasion, I would like to congratulate the Government and the fraternal Turkish people and wish eternal prosperity to the nation of Turkey”- said Baghdad Amreev.
