Turkish Public Security Directorate declared intention to support the Palestinian request to join the international police force Interpol Anatolia news agency said Thursday.
Interpol member Turkey already pledged its support for the move “on the basis that Palestine has the right to join all international organizations” the news agency said.
“Ankara already sent a formal letter to Interpol requesting that the inclusion of Palestine be on the agenda for the next Interpol general assembly which is due to take place in Bali on November 7.”
The Palestinians want their request to join Interpol to come to a vote during the organization’s annual general assembly next week.
In a bid to foil the move Israeli diplomats have been lobbying member countries to vote against Palestinian membership.
