Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Thursday that the memorandum of understanding would take effect after being approved by the Turkish parliament, adding that Turkey would make no compromise on the agreement.
The Turkish parliament approved the agreement later in the day with the votes of the governing coalition parties as well as two out of three opposition parties.

Turkey must respect international law! The European Union has repeatedly stressed to Turkey that it must respect international law and maintain good relations with neighboring countries.
