Azerbaijan, Baku, 10 June /corr. Trend S.Ilhamgizi / The Prime Minister of Turkey, Rajab Teyyub Erdogan, considers that no-one can deprive the Parliament of Turkey of its authorities being delegated by the Constitution. "The Parliament has the authority to adopt laws and no-one can deprive it of this authority," Erdogan said during his speech in Turkish Parliament on 10 June.
On 6 June the Constitutional Court of Turkey liquidated amendments to the Constitution, which enabled the religious women to come to State and educational institutions with hijab (headscarf). The ruling Justice and Development Party assessed it as interference in the decisions of the Parliament.
"Understanding of 'I did or took place' can not eliminate democratic environment. Such approach breaks structure of the democratic and legal State. Everyone should avoid actions presenting doubts over supremacy of the law, authorities of the constitutional structures," Erdogan said.
The Prime Minister considers that no-one should expect benefits from such disputes. "We are going to save Turkey from such 'authority confrontation'," the Prime Minister said. According to him, Turkey has never reconciled with the possibility that could cast shadow over Country's Parliament.
The Prime Minister demanded the Constitutional Court to explain its decision. Erdogan remembered that Turkey has 70mln people and no citizen should be forgotten, isolated and sustain discrimination. "Rights of all people should be protected, will of everyone should be reflected. It is not the issue of opposition and power, political parties. It is the issue of protecting authorities of Parliament, keeping supremacy of law," he added.
"For Turkey, we will manly protect the rights of people. Under one leadership, we will represent will of people, protect unity and equality," the Prime Minister said.
