He said that although the group was a friendship group, the purpose of it was to provide an opportunity for dialogue. And there will be issues where we will be critical. But I hope that we can work together and find solutions for these problems. Meanwhile, Sanberk emphasized the importance of the Turkish group established in the British Parliament. This is another step, adding to the positive bilateral relations between the two countries.
Parliaments are the key players in achieving success in foreign policy.
Addressing the bilateral relations between Turkey and Britain, Sanberk said Britain was one of the allies and friends of Turkey. However the bilateral channels of communications with a country like Britain, which is an ally and friend, are wide open. Turkey is definitely going to use all the channels of communications, not through the EU but through the bilateral level, especially on the issues that concern the two countries. There are 54 members of the group from both of the houses of Britain's parliament. The majority of the members are from the Labour party.
