No.
If you want to lay tile on top of anything other than concrete, you need to install a backer board like Hardi Backer. If the laminate floor is a floating floor (ie: Pergo) then you will have to take that all up first and then install your backer board.
If you don't install a backer board and the sub floor underneath the tile is able to expand/contract or shift, the tile may break and the grout will crack.

How do you lay tack strips on top of laminate flooring?
You don't, if you want your carpet to stay stretched and flat on your floor. You see, laminate flooring is not attached to your floor in any way. It floats. The boards are locked together, but if you pull up on the side of a board, it will detach itself easily. So if you attach tack strips to that laminate and then stretch a carpet over it, the tension of the carpet will very likely pull your laminate up at the edges. To do this the right way, you'll need to remove the laminate flooring (you'll find this VERY easy to do), install tack strips to the subflooring, install carpet pad, and then carpet. It'll stay like it's supposed to.

Can you install laminate flooring directly over wood parquet on a concrete subfloor?
The foam pads used for laminates are often moisture barrier's. By not allowing the moisture from the concrete anywhere to go, it will trap it with the wood parquet. Wet wood swells and will cause the laminate to fail. For this reason, laminate should not be laid on top of parquet which is on a concrete subfloor.

How to repair or replace laminate flooring?
If it's springy at an edge the skirting trim will pin it down. If it's springy in the middle, there could be something under it, so it has to come up or it will eventually pertrude and destroy the board. Sometimes the board just needs to be forced in place and the floor will straighten and become more solid.
