Turkish parliament speaker comments on Libya operation

NEW YORK (A.A) - Turkish Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Sahin has said that Turkish government and Foreign Ministry were closely following the military operations on Libya.
Commenting on the situation in Libya during his meeting with Turkish students in New York on Tuesday, Sahin said that Turkey supported a change and transformation which would meet the expectations and will of Libyan people, however, innocent people should not be harmed.
Sahin said that the resolution of UN Security Council to close air space of Libya aimed at preventing Gaddafi's forces from harming innocent public.
Recently, the USA, the United Kingdom and France have launched an air strike against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces to enforce a UN-mandated no-fly zone. U.S. and British forces fired more than 110 missiles, while French planes struck pro-Gaddafi forces attacking opposition-held Benghazi.
Earlier on Tuesday, the White House said U.S. President Barack Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had reaffirmed their support for the full implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973 over UN mission in Libya.
Sahin also gave information about his talks in New York. 
Recalling that in November 2009, the UN General Assembly accepted March 21 as International Nevruz Day, Sahin said that Nevruz would be celebrated in UN General Assembly on March 24, and he would deliver a speech in the assembly. 
Sahin added that he would also hold talks with representatives of Turkish associations in the U.S..
