If you mean laminate like a floating or glue down product that looks like wood then no. You would have to remove it. If the product is glued down then you are in for a messy and difficult job. It will be difficult to get all the glue off the concrete and could cause bonding issues with your thinset mortar if you don't get it all removed.

You can (in some cases) install a glue down wood floor over concrete. It depends on how much moisture you have in your area. If you live in a high humidity area then moisture will seep up through the concrete and you could have bonding issues.

Best bet for wood floor would be to pull up the old stuff, lay down a new sub-floor or either OSB or plywood. You would glue this down. Then install new wood floor over that in the traditional manner, nailing it through the tongue/groove.
