Turkey refused to give two helicopters during occupation of Kelbejer. We should support Turkey though. Azerbaijani Parliament should recognize PKK as a terrorist organization and we should propose our military support to Turkey. Our military contingent located in Iraq should be directed to the struggle against terror .The US supports Turkey as it has interests in the region. People who were killed in terror are ten times more than people who died on September 11 events,â€ he said.
