    TURKISH MP TURHAN CHOMAZ: GARABAGH DRAMA MAY BE REPEATED IN LEBANON

    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    Aug. 8, 2006

    "Lebanon is suffering tragedy of humanity now. About 35,000 houses
    have been devastated and 60,000 have become impossible to live in.

    One of every three persons have become refugee in Lebanonm which has
    4 million population," Turkish parliamentarian from Balikasir from
    AKP party Turhan Chomaz, who is in the Lebanese capital, Beirut now,
    told the APA's Turkey bureau.

    The parliamentarian said more than $3 billion is needed to restoration
    of the infrastructure-destroyed electric station, water reservoirs,
    roads and bridges in Lebanon.

    "As a state, Lebanon has fallen down. There is an irresistible chaos
    in the country. People are desperate and furious in Beirut. Israeli
    raids on civilians are horrible.

    If the world community fails to end the fighting in Lebanon, the
    Middle East will suffer great unrests and chaos in coming ten years.

    It is duty of all intelligent states to settle this conflict. I
    feel very sad and worry about the developments in Beirut. I wish the
    fighting ended as soon as possible," Mr. Chomaz said.

    The AKP member underlined the United States and Great Britain are
    responsible for ending the war stressing these states should interfere
    in the processes immediately.

    "However, Turkey, as the successor of a state, which was in power
    in this geography for four centuries, is also to do much in this
    situation. I expect the Azerbaijani government's support, Azerbaijani
    brothers' sensitivity to the steps and policy that Turkey will take
    soon. Everyone should do its utmost to render humanitarian aids.

    There is a need to take a strong state policy and to make more severe
    demands in order to prevent Israeli attacks. I believe Turkey will
    take these steps soon. And we expect support from an mportant Turk
    state, Azerbaijan and brotherly people to these steps," he underlined.

    Responding to the question "Do you see any similarities between the
    current developments in Lebanon and our occupied territories, refugee
    problem," the Turkish parliamentarian described the Garabagh problem
    as a chronic injury.

    "Our compatriots displaced from Nagorno Garabagh cannot get used to
    the troubles they have long been suffering. I am afraid the drama
    of our brothers from Garabagh will happen to Lebanon. There will be
    irresistible, new chronic injury here. Therefore, the conflict in
    Lebanon should be immediately solved to prevent this. In this context,
    the two brotherly states-Turkey and Azerbaijan should pursue a joint
    policy and say "end" these bloody attacks," Chomaz said.

    He also commented on the probability of the spread of the war in
    the region.

    "If efforts to achieve permanent peace fail, Israel will continue to
    bomb the southern Lebanon deporting civilians to the north. I think
    first Syria and then Iran will interfere in this process. Israel's
    current position and US secret support for it is leading the Middle
    East geography to chaos. I am afraid the fire in the heart of the
    Middle East will catch the entire geography soon. We are obliged to
    prevent this.

    I convey my love to Azerbaijani brothers from Beirut. They must not
    forget that our hearts are always with them. I'll dedicate my next
    visit program to Garabagh," Chomaz concluded.
