Summary of the political and economic news in the Turkish press this morning
CONTENTS
The trial of Abdullah Ocalan is drawing to an end as on Wednesday
Presiding Judge Turgut Okyay adjourned to today the proceedings
asking the prosecutor and defense to prepare their final
presentations; this is much earlier than the deadline set
previously. On Wednesday the court continued interrogating the
separatist chieftain, who admitted overall responsibility for PKK
terrorism but denied responsibility for most of the gang's deadly
attacks. He also denied ever ordering the murder of disobedient
gang members.
Continuing to reveal the gang's foreign collaborators, Ocalan
reconfirmed that the PKK received financial assistance from
Greece as well as being provided with training bases on Greek
territory. He also confirmed that the Greek-Cypriot
administration has been sending money to the separatists and
claimed that several other European countries have been providing
them with financial assistance. /All papers/
Prime Minister and Democratic Left Party (DSP) leader Bulent
Ecevit said that the coalition government, which is expected to
get the vote of confidence next week from Parliament, will be
harmonious and fruitful and promised huge developments in the
coming few months'. Speaking at his party's group meeting in
Parliament, Ecevit said that the lawmakers should settle for a
short recess and must complete the passing of amendments to the
laws and the Constitution during the summer. Apart from this, the
most important issue for the government is approving the 1999
budget, Ecevit stressed.
Constitutional amendments, to change the structure of the State
Security Courts, limit the immunities of deputies, ministers and
the prime minister, pass the banking and repentance laws and
social security reforms are also top issues, said Ecevit. /All

Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said that the Ocalan trial process
has been going smoothly. However, he added, it was the shame of
other countries which had tried to teach Turkey about human
rights, democracy and civilization. In his party's assembly
meeting yesterday, Ecevit said that there was a perfect system
underway in the Mudanya-Gemlik-Imrali triangle and added that
Ocalan's announcements had clearly disclosed what kind of
international conspiracy Turkey has been faced with for years.
Recalling that those countries which had refrained from trying
Ocalan, had no right to cast a shadow on the Turkish legal
system, Ecevit noted that the Italian members of the press had
left Imrali as they had not found any issue to exploit. He
stressed that the trial would be an important step in drying out
both national and international sources of terrorism in Turkey.

A member of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly,
Hungarian Deputy Andras Barsony, said that the trial of the head
of the PKK terrorist organization, Abdullah Ocalan, has been fair
to date. Barsony who followed the third day of the trial on
behalf of the Parliamentary Assembly remarked that the trial was
completely above-board and was running smoothly. Meanwhile,
another member of the Parliamentary Assembly, Walter Schwimmer,
said in a statement in Vienna yesterday that the trial was being
held in a fair atmosphere. /Hurriyet/
A senior official from the Greek Embassy in Ankara said yesterday
in reference to Ocalan's accusatory statements about Greece, a
country which did not give him political asylum, that it was not
the first time that Greece had been faced with such unjust
claims. The Greek SKY TV correspondent in Mudanya noted that if
Ocalan declared that he had met Simitis, this would cause great
problems with Turkey. Meanwhile, the British Embassy in Ankara
announced that it was wrong to comment on a trial still in
progress and they had no intention of intervening in Turkey's
domestic issues. Moreover, the British media did not cover the
Ocalan trial very much yesterday although Ocalan's statements
against Britain were censured. The British media was highly
critical of Ocalan's cowardice.
Furthermore, the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman, H. Riza
Asefi, yesterday rejected Ocalan's claims that the PKK has a
hospital in Iran. /Aksam/
A civilian reserve judge Mehmet Maras is also attending Ocalan's
trial, which has been in progress for three days on Imrali
Island. It is reported that Maras is following the trial in case
of an amendment to the structure of the State Security Courts
(DGMs). If the DGMs are put under complete civilian control,
military judge Colonel Abdulkadir Davarcioglu will withdraw from
the trial. /Hurriyet/
One of the lawyers of Abdullah Ocalan, Kemal Bilgic, made a
statement yesterday and said that the trial has been continuing
respectably for three days. Thus, a response has been given to
some Western critics who claimed that Ocalan's trial in Turkey
would not be fair. /Hurriyet/
The lawyers who have undertaken Ocalan's defence and the
relatives of Abdullah Ocalan declared that they would not attend
today's hearing. Remarking that they are faced with grave
difficulties in finding a hotel in Mudanya or Bursa, Niyazi
Bulgan, one of Ocalan's lawyers, said, "It is a de facto
impossibility to carry out a defence under these circumstances.
We have been looking for a hotel in Bursa and Gemlik but nobody
has provided us with accomodation. Those hotel managers who have
let us stay have been subject to threats and eventually changed
their mind. We are not going to attend the hearing, and nor will
Ocalan's family. Yet we are not withdrawing from the defence. We
will simply not attend today's hearing. Then we will evaluate the
situation." /Sabah/
In the third day of his trial, Abdullah Ocalan brought heavy
charges against Britain. Ocalan said, "Britain broadcasts against
me. I believe that they have strong manipulative tendencies and
are pursuing a deliberate Kurdish policy in this way. Britain
wants the Kurds to remain a problem for Turkey; I have developed
my own attitude against this." /Hurriyet/
Fuat Yasin, the Palestinian Ambassador to Ankara, has denied
Ocalan's argument that PKK militants had been trained in camps
belonging to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and
said, "The PLO has never supported the PKK". Remarking that they
had no ties with either the PKK or Abdullah Ocalan, Yasin said
that certain groups excluded from the PLO might have supported
the PKK. /Milliyet/
`La Repubblica': An article written by Giorgio Bocca claimed that
Ocalan was forced to speak. Il Messaggero: Ocalan does not agree
with the accusations and blames someone else. La Stampa: The
representative of the PKK, Abdurrahman Cadirci, said: "It would
be better to bargain with the PKK".
`The New York Times': Ocalan's extra-ordinary statement has
confused everyone. Washington Post: Ocalan wanted the Turkish
state to spare his life.
`La Libre Belgique': Ocalan's repentance left the PKK breathless.
Le Monde: Ocalan's statement was based on his wish to live.
`Daily Telegraph': Ocalan who initially seemed to be calm later
became anxious following statements by members of those families
who had lost their relatives due to PKK activities.
`The Times': Very emotional moments were experienced at Tuesday's
session when family members who had lost their relatives during
the struggle against the PKK made their statements in court.
`Bild': Ocalan, supposedly so charismatic, appeared extremely
cowardly during the hearing; Ocalan asked for forgiveness and for
his life to be spared.
`To Vima': A hero can afford to lose his life for his principles;
Ocalan cannot be a hero. Etnos: While listening to Ocalan's
statements full of betrayal, I was ashamed on behalf of those who
had burnt themselves and gone to prison for Ocalan. Ocalan does
not deserve them. Katimerini: Ocalan has become a mere tool in
the hands of Turkey. /Hurriyet/
An article drawn up by Robert Pullock, the chief editor of the
Wall Street Journal Europe, begins with these words: "If one
seeks for a good friend, I advise him to approach the Turks." The
Wall Street criticizes the West which always tries to undermine
Turkey: "They are always loyal to the NATO Alliance. Turkey is
the most democratic and liberal country in the Muslim world. Yet,
whenever the foreign media turns its spotlight on this country,
they always see violations of human rights, antidemocratic
incidents, attacks against the Kurds or attempts to counter the
Islamic extremists. They have done the same thing in the trial
which started this week; they have concentrated on the Turkish
legal system, the State Security Courts (DGMs) and the death
penalty. They have ignored the discussion of whether or not
Ocalan is a bloody murderer responsible for the deaths of 37
thousand people. If there is something which should be
scrutinized by the West, it is definitely the successes of Turkey
on the path to modernization and freedom initiated by Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk 75 years ago. However, even this has been unable to
persuade the West. They are still refusing Turkey entry to the
EU. This results in the stregnthening of extreme factions inside
the country. The incredible liberalization in the Turkish economy
should be appreciated by European critics. Even though the
standards of Turkish institutions are not sufficient for
unification with Europe, Turkey's integration with the West is an
inevitable fact." /Sabah/
The PKK's news agency, DEM, sent a fax message to the French AFP
News Agency yesterday saying that the PKK will put down its
weapons. Meanwhile, depending on PKK sources, the German SAT 1 TV
channel announced that the 15-year long armed conflict was over.
DEM announced that Ocalan's declarations were "comprehensive
declarations for a political solution, peace and brotherhood. It
added that the PKK organization would fight for another fifteen
years if necessary but this was enough. /Turkiye/
President Suleyman Demirel gave a conference on "The World and
Turkey in June 1999" yesterday at the War Academy Headquarters in
Istanbul. In his speech Demirel scolded European countries who
supported to the PKK. He noted Turkey had signed 11 international
cooperation agreements against terrorism. However, he added,
European countries who were members of NATO, the European Union
(EU) and the United Nations (UN) continued their support for
terrorism. The President also criticised some opinion who have
likened the circumstances in Kosovo to the situation in
Southeastern Anatolia. He made a call to the world asking for a
more objective approach to the situations. /Sabah/Turkiye/
Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit sent a message to the current
European Union (EU) Chairman and German Chancellor, Gerhard
Schroder, asking him to take care of Turkey at the Cologne
Summit. The message said, "In order to improve Turco-European
Union (EU) relations, please be concerned Ankara's anxieties.
Turco-EU relations should be saved from the prejudice of Greece.
The political will exists to improve mutual relations between
Turkey and the EU." Diplomatic circles noted that Germany is the
key country which can protect Turkey from Greek veto. /Aksam/
Belgian Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene said that Turkey was
accepted within the European Union (EU) and relations between
Turkey and the EU should be set up again on a new footing. He
noted that Ankara should hold special status adding, "Turkey is a
NATO member country and has a particular status in the Western
European Union. Additionally, Turkey's place within the new
European defence system will be described." /Turkiye/
It is expected that a hope-inspiring message will be issued
following the EU summit which will start in Cologne today. Turkey
wants the EU to take concrete steps to normalize Turco-EU
relations and to correct the mistake it made during the
Luxembourg summit. However, it is reported that the probable
death penalty verdict following Ocalan's trial on Imrali Island
may cause strained relations between Turkey and the EU.

Defence Minister Sabahattin Cakmakoglu said that Greece not only
created problems in the Aegean but also set up her foreign policy
on these problems and called for Athens to act more rationally.
He noted, "Certain islets in the Aegean have been inherited by us
from the Ottoman period. If there were any international
agreement following a war which determines which islet belongs to
which country, Turkey would obey it. However, if there is no such
distinction decided by an agreement, the islets belong to the
country which inherited them; this is a principle of
international law." /Aksam/
The Deputy Spokesman of the Greek Government, Yannis Nikolau,
said that the letter sent by Turkish Foreign Minister Ismail Cem
to Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreu was being examined by
officials. Nikolau stated at a press conference that Cem had
proposed cooperation on security issues. Nikolau added: "Greece
has not issued a response yet but will do so in the near future",
the Anatolia News Agency reports.
The dissolution begun within the terrorist PKK organization
following the capture of Abdullah Ocalan has increased at a
remarkable rate with the Imrali Trial. The most interesting
example of this dissolution has been observed in Gaziantep
Prison, where 50 prisoners applying to the administration have
changed their wards and have hung Ataturk's poster and the
Turkish flag on the walls of their new ward. /Sabah/
Two members of the PKK terrorist organization carrying a bomb
wished to enter the 23rd Gendarmerie Border Division Command in
Sirnak yesterday. A village guard stopped these men and requested
them to reveal their identities. The terrorists panicked and
exploded the bomb. As a result of the explosion, the daughter of
the village guard was seriously wounded and taken to hospital.
One of the terrorists died, while the other managed to escape;
Officials remarked that a search to find the terrorist was
underway.

The Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Cumhur Ersumer,
said that the coalition government was determined to lift the
Constitutional obstacles in front of foreign investment in order
to meet Turkey's energy requirements. In his statement to the
press in Antalya, Ersumer noted that the energy sector is
Turkey's most dynamic sector adding that the present 21,000
megawatt energy capacity will increase to meet Turkey's energy
needs till the year 2020. He said, "Dams, power stations and
natural gas pumping stations have been put out to tender. We have
signed agreements with the U.S., Canada and France concerning how
to put Turkey's hydro-electric resources to be put into service.
Also, power stations which have received approval to be handed
over to the private sector will be transferred very soon and in
return we will obtain $ 200 million in revenue. The only problem
in the energy sector is that there are some obstacles in the way
of transferring foreign investment to Turkey for those projects
benefitting from credits. The 57th coalition government is
determined to make the necessary legal arrangements in the
Constitution to ease the situation." /Aksam/
Energy and Natural Resources Minister Cumhur Ersumer yesterday

Columnist Ali Bayramoglu comments on the situation in
Southeastern Anatolia. A summary of his column is as follows:
"During the trial on Imrali, along with the revelations of
Ocalan, and the change in the structure of the State Security
Courts (DGM) there is another problem which has to be discussed
in all its facets and implications: the situation in Southeastern
Anatolia. Not only the problems created by terrorism or the loss
of thousands of lives due to terrorism, but also polarization
within the country, tension, the political future of Turkey, the
relation between the military and civilian authorities ,
Turkey's relations with the West, and the choices she has to make
entering the 21st century are based on the Southeastern Anatolia
issue and it seems that this tendency will continue.
We need to open a debate on the widespread belief that if Ocalan
is the only person responsible for the problems experienced in
Southeastern Anatolia, will his punishment or execution end all
these problems?
The question of how to prevent terrorism has gained the utmost
importance. Will it be quelled by security measures or by
introducing democracy and freedom of expression? The answers to
these questions are concerned with the definition of terrorism,
or the source and relation of terrorism to the society.
Despite finding a correlation between terrorism and social
demands, those who say that this relationship is dangerous and
destructive and the problem could only be solved by its
eradication favour democracy. On the other hand, the
understanding which believes it to be a crime to express any
correlation between terrorism and social demands, in fact,
encourage the very existence of what they want to suppress by
their policies.
Turkey is not only paying for the murders committed by this
terrorist organization but also for the misguided steps taken. It
is still in Turkey's hands to change these mistaken policies."
Columnist Derya Sazak writes on Ocalan's trial and questions his
words. A summary of his column is as follows:
"As the trial on Imrali Island proceeds, it becomes clear how
Ocalan has used the 'Kurdish Identiy' as a 'separatist' weapon
against Turkey. In his written statement Ocalan denies
'separatism' and mentions the 'National Pact' and how the Kurds
helped in the foundation of the Republic. Starting with this, he
is trying to explain how he organized the second biggest uprising
in Republican history.
How else can you define 'treason'? Start a guerilla war based on
ethnic reasons like a civil war, cause the deaths of 30 thousand
people in 15 years and then apologise and try to politicize the
PKK in court! We are suprised at Ocalan's courage. No one should
define him as a coward because he has apologised, it should not
be forgotten that he may think of tactical moves which will
create problems for the Turkish State before the trial is over.
Ocalan describes the trial on Imrali as a milestone for peace and
confesses that the dream of a Kurdish State for which he has led
thousands of young people into the mountains was not realistic.
The head of the PKK says to the militants in the mountains that
only the democratic Republic can protect them. Turkey has to plan
for the period after Ocalan without waiting for the decision of
the court. It is the right time to view Southeastern Anatolia
through the eyes of democracy and take the Kurdish card from the
hands of the separatists. This chance should not be lost.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Ismail Cem said yesterday that there
was full political agreement in Turkey concerning the NATO air
strikes against Yugoslavia. He added that the ground operation,
at the moment, is not on NATO's agenda of NATO. /Aksam/
It is reported that the involvement of the Turkish Armed Forces
(TSK) in NATO air strikes against Yugoslavia is continuing in
line with the rules outlined in both the Constitution and laws.
According to a statement issued by the Hasan Tahsin Information
Centre at the General Staff's Office, if the Kosovo Peace
Agreement is signed, a 950-strong battallion from Turkey will
participate in the peace-keeping force established by NATO in
order to assist the implementation of the agreement, the return
of Kosovar refugees to their homes and to support infrastructural
services. Decision No.596 was approved by the Turkish Grand
National Assembly (TGNA) for that purpose. /Cumhuriyet/
A Turkish Red Crescent (Kizilay) camp in Macedonia is providing
services to thousands of Kosovar refugees. There are currently
3,000 refugees in the camp, set up by NATO at the beginning of
April, in Boyana near the Macedonian capital of Skopje. Nearly 10
days after its establishment, the camp was handed-over to the Red
Crescent. /Cumhuriyet/
The number of Kosovar refugees who were forced to leave their
homes due to the ethnic cleansing campaign in Kosovo, and took
shelter in Turkey, have reached 16,790, reports the Anatolian
News Agency. According to the statement issued from the Ministry
of the Interior, a total of 7,484 Kosovars have arrived in the
Corlu Airport in Tekirdag, 7,194 regugees have entered Turkey
from the Kapikule Border Gate in Edirne, whereas 2,112 others
have arrived in the Ataturk Airport in Istanbul. The statement

shelter in the Gaziosmanpasa Refugee Camp in Kirklareli.
