[A] TRANSCAUCASUS AND CENTRAL ASIA

[01] ARMENIAN, AZERBAIJANI PRESIDENTS MEET

Heidar Aliev held talks on 16 July in Geneva on the Karabakh

conflict. AP quoted Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian

as telling Armenian National Television after the meeting

that the two presidents had "attempted to remove the

obstacles" impeding work on a document that would lay the

basis for talks. Azerbaijan rejected the most recent draft

peace plan by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen because it

objected to the proposed concept of a "common state" composed

of both Azerbaijan and the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh

Republic. Oskanian said it is too early to speak of a

breakthrough, and he expressed the hope that talks will

continue "at the highest level." LF

[02] GEORGIAN FACTION LEADERS DISCUSS AMENDMENTS TO ELECTION LAW

July with representatives of parliamentary factions on the

proposed amendment to the existing election law raising the

threshold for parliamentary representation under the

proportional system from 5 percent to 7 percent, Caucasus

Press reported. The parliament is to debate that amendment at

an extraordinary session on 20 July. Under another proposed

amendment, five of the 19 members of the Central Electoral

Commission are to be appointed by the president, five by the

parliament, seven by the parties that polled the largest

number of votes in last November's local elections, and one

each by Abkhazia and Adjaria. LF

[03] TURKEY TO GIVE GEORGIA THIRD GRANT FOR DEFENSE PURPOSES

agreement on Ankara's allocation of a further $3,700,000 for

the Georgian Defense Ministry and border guards, Caucasus

Press reported on 16 July. Turkey allocated $5.5 million to

Georgia in 1998 and another $1.7 million last month (see

"RFE/RL Newsline," 8 June 1999). LF

[04] LEBED IN ADJARIA

arrived in Batumi on 17 July for a two-day visit, Caucasus

Press reported. "Dilis gazeti" on 11 May had quoted Adjar

State Council chairman Aslan Abashidze as saying that "Lebed

adores Adjaria." Lebed's deputy, Shalva Breus, visited

Adjaria in May to discuss prospects for joint ventures,

including a joint airline, for which Krasnoyarsk intended to

invest 25 percent of the necessary funding. LF

[05] GAZPROM CHAIRMAN IN KAZAKHSTAN

on 16 July with Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Nurlan

Balghymbaev to discuss a natural gas swap, Interfax reported.

Under the proposed deal, Russia would receive natural gas

from the Karachaganak field in western Kazakhstan in exchange

for Russian gas delivered to Kustanai and Aktyubinsk Oblasts

in the north of the country. LF

[06] RUSSIAN, TAJIK, UZBEK FOREIGN MINISTERS MEET

Tashkent on 16 July, Igor Ivanov, Talbak Nazarov, and

Abdulaziz Kamilov assessed implementation of the Cooperation

Declaration signed by the three countries' presidents in

Tashkent on 12 October 1998, Interfax reported. The

declaration pledged cooperation in combating religious

extremism in Central Asia. In a joint communique, the three

foreign ministers called for further efforts to stabilize the

political situation in Tajikistan and stressed the need for

concerted actions to end the conflict in Afghanistan through

constructive dialogue under the aegis of the UN. They pledged

to continue regular trilateral meetings. LF

[07] RUSSIA PRAISES TAJIK RECONCILIATION PROGRESS...

journalists in Tashkent after the meeting that Tajikistan's

experience of national reconciliation and repatriating

refugees since the signing of the General Peace Agreement two

years ago deserves greater publicity and wider application,

Interfax reported. LF

[08] ...ACKNOWLEDES PROBLEMS IN RELATIONS WITH UZBEKISTAN

also told journalists that he and Uzbekistan's President

Islam Karimov had a "very frank" discussion on 15 July about

all outstanding problems in bilateral relations, including

the failure to implement previously signed agreements,

Interfax reported. Karimov, for his part, told Interfax that

the two countries should define their priorities more clearly

in order to achieve an improvement in bilateral relations.

Uzbekistan in April joined the GUAM alignment, which Moscow

perceives as pro-Western and intended to undermine the CIS

from within. LF

[09] TAJIK FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS 'NO PROBLEMS' IN RELATIONS WITH

In an exclusive interview with ITAR-TASS

following the trilateral talks in Tashkent on 16 July, Talbak

Nazarov said he sees "no problems for now" in relations with

Uzbekistan, adding that the two countries have in recent

years built "very good relations both politically and

economically." Relations between the two countries cooled

late last year after Tajik President Imomali Rakhmonov

accused Uzbekistan of abetting an insurgency by rebel Tajik

Colonel Mahmud Khudoiberdiev. LF

[10] RUSSIA, TURKMENISTAN PLEDGE TO INCREASE COOPERATION

Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov told Interfax on 16 July

in Ashgabat that he agreed with Turkmen President Saparmurat

Niyazov to create an intergovernmental commission aimed at

increasing bilateral political, trade, economic, and military

cooperation. He added that the current level of cooperation

"can hardly satisfy either side..., our potential is much

greater." Niyazov stressed that "our doors are open, and we

are willing to cooperate with great Russia. It is Russia that

has so far not been coming here." He argued that Russia has

isolated itself from other CIS countries and is "acting as if

it were hurt" by the break-up of the Soviet Union. Niyazov

also urged Russia to help Turkmenistan mediate in the

Afghanistan conflict. He noted that representatives of both

warring sides were in Ashgabat on 16 July for consultations

with Turkmen officials. Ivanov said Russia will send a

delegation to a conference on Afghanistan that is to take

place next week in Tashkent. FS

[B] SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE

[11] OJDANIC SAYS ARMY BACKS MILOSEVIC

who is army chief of staff, said in Nova Varos on 17 July

that "the main task of all of us is to preserve the stability

of the state. [In Yugoslavia] there are lots of people who

have sold out [their country] and vassals of the West, who

want to remove the [legally elected] authorities by force and

push the state into a new catastrophe.... [Those who seek to

do so] will not have popular support." Ojdanic is a political

appointee who has held his current post since only 24

November 1998. Opposition journalist Milos Vasic told the BBC

on 19 July that it is unclear whether Ojdanic speaks for

anyone except himself and the leadership of Yugoslav

President Slobodan Milosevic. The Hague-based war crimes

tribunal recently indicted Ojdanic, Milosevic, and three

other top-ranking Belgrade officials for war crimes in

conjunction with Operation Horseshoe in the spring of 1999 in

Kosova. PM

[12] DRASKOVIC: OFFER MILOSEVIC IMMUNITY

the opposition Serbian Renewal Movement, told the

"International Herald Tribune" of 19 July that the easiest

way to get Milosevic out of power is to let him remain "as a

figurehead...[of a] transitional government" that would

prepare the way for new elections at all levels. In order to

persuade Milosevic to go peacefully and to attract the

support of some of his backers, Draskovic argued that the new

authorities should give Milosevic immunity from prosecution

and from deportation to The Hague, where he is wanted for war

crimes. On 17 July, Draskovic told a crowd of 15,000 in

Kragujevac that the transition government should hold office

for between three and six months. Besides preparing for

elections, its tasks would be to get international sanctions

lifted and ensure the return of Serbian refugees to Kosova.

Observers note that the international community is unlikely

to lift sanctions as long as Milosevic remains in office. PM

[13] YUGOSLAV RESERVISTS END PROTESTS

army reservists ended three days of protests for back pay for

recent service in Kosova. General Nebojsa Pavkovic, who

commands the Third Army, promised in a local television

broadcast to meet their demands. He noted that the government

owes reservists a total of $82 million, RFE/RL's South Slavic

Service reported. A spokesman for the Kragujevac reservists

said, however, that they will take unspecified "more radical

action" if the authorities do not keep their promises. In

Prokuplje on 17 July, an unspecified number of reservists

blocked off the main streets leading in and out of the town

to demand back pay. They ended their protest when army

officials agreed to meet their demands. PM

[14] BELGRADE'S OLIVE BRANCH TO PODGORICA?

Minister Bogoljub Karic told the Podgorica daily "Vjesti" of

17 July that "he has nothing against...a democratic and

civilized" dissolution of Yugoslavia into two "independent

and sovereign states" if that is what the Serbian and

Montenegrin peoples want. If they prefer to remain united in

one state, he continued, Serbia and Montenegro could each

have its own currency. Karic added that, in any event, the

strongest Montenegrin party should have the prime minister's

post in the federal government. Observers note that the

leading Montenegrin party is currently the Democratic Party

of Socialists of President Milo Djukanovic, who is an

outspoken critic of Milosevic. PM

[15] KLEIN: CROATIA, SERBIA KEY TO BOSNIA'S FUTURE

who is the UN's new special representative in Bosnia, said in

Sarajevo on 18 July that Bosnia's future will be

"problematic" unless both Croatia and Serbia become

democratic. He stressed that those two neighboring countries

currently "exercise a negative influence" on the

democratization and stability of Bosnia. Klein stressed the

importance of Milosevic's departure from office for the peace

and stability of the region. Klein noted, however, that

Milosevic retains strong control over the Serbian media and

that opposition to him remains weak and divided. PM

[16] KOSOVAR GROUPS AGREE ON CONFIDENCE-BUILDING MEASURES

Muslim delegates agreed at the first meeting of the UN's

new transitional council (see below) for Kosova on a series

of confidence-building measures, UN spokesman Kevin Kennedy

told RFE/RL's South Slavic Service. Kennedy said that the

delegates agreed in Prishtina on 16 July on a procedure for

recruiting people from all ethnic groups for the planned UN

police force. They also agreed to create joint commissions

that will visit various parts of Kosova, together with UN

Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and KFOR officials, to assess the

needs of the local populations. Furthermore, they agreed to

quickly resolve disputes surrounding the staffing and work

of Radio and Television Prishtina so that the station can

go on the air as soon as possible (see "RFE/RL Newsline,"

14 July 1999). FS

[17] UN TO HAVE BINDING ARBITRATION IN KOSOVA COUNCIL

told RFE/RL's South Slavic Service that the transitional

council is not a decision-making body. He stressed that the

members of the council will consult with and advise UNMIK.

He added that it will function on the basis of consensus

when possible. UN Special Representative Bernard Kouchner

will, however, make binding decisions if the delegates do

not agree among themselves. Participants included the

Kosova Liberation Army's (UCK) Hashim Thaci, Rexhep Qosja

from the United Democratic Movement of Kosova, Serbian

Orthodox Bishop Artemije Radosavljevic, and publishers

Veton Surroi and Blerim Shala. The moderate Democratic

League of Kosova sent no delegates to the meeting (see

"RFE/RL Newsline," 16 July 1999). The council is scheduled

to meet again on 19 July. FS

[18] THACI HEADS PARADE IN RAHOVEC

in uniform made a "triumphant entry" into Rahovec on 17

July "in a show of political and military force," AP

reported. Thaci had received special permission from KFOR

to hold the parade, which commemorated the deaths of UCK

soldiers in the area during the 1998-1999 conflict with

Serbian forces. Thaci said: "Our job is not done yet. We

have to be united more than ever for the independence of

Kosova, and the world must recognize our right to hold a

referendum on independence." He stressed: "We don't want an

ethnically pure city here. We must create conditions for

all the ethnic groups to live here." FS

[19] 'OBSERVER': NATO PREPARED TO INVADE KOSOVA

Observer" of 18 July quoted General Sir Charles Guthrie,

who heads the U.K.'s Defense Staff, and his deputy, Air

Marshal Sir John Day, as saying that commanders from the

U.K. and U.S. finalized plans in early June to launch a

massive ground invasion of Kosova. The project was called

"Operation B-Minus" and would have involved 170,000 troops,

including 50,000 from the U.K. The invasion was slated to

begin the first week of September if Milosevic had not

pulled his troops out of the province by then. It is

unclear which other NATO countries were prepared to

participate in the project. PM

[20] ALBANIA PRAISES MACEDONIAN PLEDGE ON UNIVERSITY

government issued a statement on 16 July saying that the

Macedonian government's recent decision to grant "permission

to open a university in the Albanian language shows a

willingness [by the Macedonian government] to overcome

problems and help our relations grow," Reuters reported (see

"RFE/RL Newsline," 16 July 1999). FS

[21] ALBANIAN DEMOCRATS END PARLIAMENTARY BOYCOTT

an extraordinary congress of the Democratic Party (PD) in

Tirana on 17 July voted unanimously to end the party's 10-

month boycott of the parliament, Reuters reported. Party

leader Sali Berisha told the delegates: "Fulfilling the

request of the U.S. government to return to parliament is

the least we could do after all that they did for

Albanians," by which he meant the U.S.'s involvement in

Kosova. Berisha pledged to propose making U.S. President

Bill Clinton an honorary citizen of Albania. He added that

"the Democratic Party commits itself to creating a new

political climate where nobody will be excluded anymore."

The Democrats launched a parliamentary boycott after the

killing of PD legislator Azem Hajdari in September 1998.

They charged the Socialist-led government with being behind

the murder. FS

[22] ALBANIA EXPELS TERRORISM SUSPECTS

Mithat Havari told Reuters on 17 July that police the

previous day expelled two Syrian brothers--identified as

Abdyl and Osama Naem--and Iraqi citizen Muhamed Jasim.

Havari said that the three did not have "proper" documents.

He did not provide other details. "Koha Jone" reported that

the three were arrested early on 16 July and immediately

expelled by plane to Athens. The daily suggested that the

three were suspected agents of indicted Saudi terrorist

Osama Bin Laden. They worked for an Islamic charity

organization in Albania. Police had arrested two of them in

February, but a Tirana court released them in early July

for lack of evidence. In related news, Pentagon spokesman

Army Lieutenant-Colonel Steve Campbell told Reuters in

Washington on 17 July that security reasons were only "a

secondary reason" for U.S. Secretary of Defense William

Cohen to cancel his scheduled visit to Tirana on 13 July.

FS

[23] ROMANIAN OPPOSITION CRITICIZES SENTENCING OF GENERALS

Party of Social Democracy in Romania (PDSR) on 16 July said

it is "concerned" that the sentencing of generals Victor

Stanculescu and Mihai Chitac (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 16 July

1999) reflects a "dangerous precedent" and was the outcome of

pressure exercised on the judiciary by the ruling coalition

parties. PDSR deputy chairman Adrian Nastase on 18 July said

the generals are "just the first two victims" of a "political

war" launched under "a scenario" whose ultimate targets are

former President Ion Iliescu and Petre Roman, who served as

premier after the 1989 revolution, Mediafax reported. The

Defense Ministry on 16 July said it will appeal the decision

of the court ordering the ministry to pay damages to those

wounded in Timisoara and to the relatives of those killed in

December 1989. MS

[24] ROMANIAN POLITICIANS PLAY 'MUSICAL PARTY CHAIRS'

Cosea, deputy chairman of the Alliance for Romania Party

(APR), has been elected deputy chairman of the Rightist Union

Forces (UFD) at an UFD extraordinary congress, RFE/RL's

Bucharest bureau reported on 17 June. Cosea said his decision

to join the UFD stemmed from ideological reasons and that the

APR is gradually abandoning its "liberal" persuasion in favor

of a Social Democratic orientation. Also, the UFD congress

elected to the UFD Standing Committee former Privatization

Minister Valentin Ionescu and Emil Tocaci, both of whom last

month resigned from their parties--the National Peasant Party

Christian Democratic and National Liberal Party,

respectively--to join the UFD. MS

[25] MOLDOVAN PRESIDENT SATISFIED WITH KYIV SUMMIT

Lucinschi, returning from the Kyiv summit on 17 July (see

above), said the meeting "marked an important step toward a

final settlement of the Transdniester conflict," RFE/RL's

Chisinau bureau reported. Lucinschi said that "for the first

time" the two conflicting sides had agreed on the

"principles" that must guide the resolution of the conflict--

namely the formation of single "economic, judicial, and

social space within Moldova's existing borders, recognized by

the international community." He said it is now up to experts

from the two sides to work out how to implement these

principles. Lucinschi praised the "constructive position" of

the Russian, Ukrainian, and OSCE mediators, saying that

Russian Premier Sergei Stepashin has "confirmed the

intention...to proceed with the withdrawal of armament and

troops" from Moldovan territory. MS

[26] MOLDOVA TO SETTLE ROMANIAN DEBT WITH COMPANY SHARES

Trade and Industry Minister Radu Berceanu on 16 July said a

consortium formed by the Petrom company and other Romanian

companies will take over 51 percent of the shares of the

Moldovan Tirex-Petrol company in exchange for Chisinau's more

than $5 million debt to Romania for electricity supplies,

Romanian Radio reported. The parliament in Chisinau on 15

July approved legislation writing off Tirex-Petrol's debt to

the state budget and transferring a majority stake to the

Romanian side in exchange for the debt cancellation. MS

[27] BULGARIA TO OFFER TRANSIT RIGHTS TO RUSSIAN KFOR TROOPS

private Darik Radio that "in the next few days" Bulgaria will

offer land transit rights to Russian KFOR troops, similar to

those offered to other states contributing to the

peacekeeping force in Kosova, BTA reported. In the same

interview, Mihailova said Bulgaria is already a "successful

Balkan model of political stability and multi-ethnic

relations" and "we hope that very soon we shall also be a

successful economic model as well." She added that what Sofia

expects from the EU "is not praise and kind words, but an

invitation to start accession talks." MS

[C] END NOTE

[28] A NEVER-ENDING UNIFICATION STORY

Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin announced on 5

July that Russia will sign a treaty with Belarus this fall,

allowing the two countries "to enter the 21st century as a

union-state." For those who may have lost count of Russian-

Belarusian integration initiatives, this will be the third

major agreement on a single Russian-Belarusian state. The

first was signed in April 1996, the second one year later, in

April 1997. There are many signs that this year's proposed

document--heralded by Belarusian President Alyaksandr

Lukashenka and Russian President Boris Yeltsin in a joint

declaration on 25 December 1998--will not be the ultimate

unification pact either.

Stepashin's pledge of quicker unification was preceded

by attempted blackmail on the part of the Belarusian

president. Addressing the 2 July session of the Belarusian-

Russian Parliamentary Assembly in Minsk, Lukashenka

threatened to seek rapprochement with the West if Russia

continued to drag its feet on a closer union with his

country. Following consultations with Yeltsin, Stepashin

hastened to assure Lukashenka that the treaty will be ready

within a month and will not be of simply a "declarative

character."

As for Lukashenka's threat to repair relations with the

West, Stepashin commented: "We would welcome that [move], and

a union between Russia and Belarus should not in any case

stand as an obstacle to creating a unified Europe." Both

Yeltsin and Stepashin are perfectly aware that, as one

Russian newspaper put it, "there is no way to the West" for

Lukashenka.

Lukashenka's attempt at blackmailing Russia is rather a

sign of his weakness and frustration as his presidency nears

the completion of its fifth year on 20 July 1999. European

democracies have not recognized Belarus's 1996 controversial

referendum, by means of which Lukashenka extended his

presidential term until 2001. So far, he has not appeared to

pay much attention to what the West thinks about his

legitimacy after 20 July. Rather, he seems to have scented

another danger: What if Moscow strongmen--embroiled in their

intricate wars for power--begin openly questioning his

legitimacy and, consequently, his right to sign any

interstate documents? Such a turn of events cannot be ruled

out as Russia nears parliamentary elections in December and

presidential elections next year.

There has been much speculation in the Russian media

that Yeltsin is willing to repeat the "Milosevic scenario" in

order to stay in power beyond 2000. The creation of the

Russian-Belarusian union could serve Yeltsin's political

longevity in the Kremlin in the same way as the 1994 creation

of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia helped Serbian

President Slobodan Milosevic remain at the helm in Belgrade

as the head of the unified state of Serbia and Montenegro.

Lukashenka is ready to accept Yeltsin as the union

president provided that he himself is given the post of vice

president. However, Kremlin planners have not envisaged any

union presidency or common government. And what is more

important, even such staunch proponents of Russian-Belarusian

integration as Russian State Duma Chairman Gennadii Seleznev,

Communist Party leader Gennadii Zyuganov, and Moscow Mayor

Yurii Luzhkov have not insisted on the introduction of a

union presidency. This should be taken by Lukashenka as a

disappointing, if not alarming, state of affairs: Russian

political elites have so far not devised any major role for

him in the struggle for power in Russia. Moreover, it is

unclear whether they ever intended to.

Yeltsin recently announced that he is ready to step down

when his terms expires next year. Whether or not that is

true, he may at least be willing to wait to take a final

decision until after Russia's parliamentary elections in

December. If the elections suggest that his preferred

candidate will win the presidential race next year, he will

most likely leave the political scene, placing the future of

further integration with Belarus into the hands of his

successor. If not, a "union option" that would prolong his

rule might be used by him in earnest. In any case, no one

should expect a treaty this fall that would allow Lukashenka

to obtain the real levers of power in Russia.

Lukashenka recently declared that he will not accept a

non-presidential power structure in the union-state. But it

seems he will have no choice. If he refuses to sign another

watered-down union treaty proposed by Moscow, he will find

himself on the sidelines of the integration process, which he

has so ardently championed. What is more, he may well find

himself on the sidelines of all politics. Neglecting and even

rejecting normal relations with Western democracies, he has

become hostage to his one-sided policy of rapprochement with

Russia. On the other hand, if he signs such a treaty, he will

hardly get what he wants--namely, more power and more Russian

resources to bail out the sinking Belarusian economy.

"From the very beginning [of his term], Lukashenka was

nothing more than a puppet.... The real power was in the

hands of the puppeteer behind the screen. The only person who

could allow himself [to move the puppet] was Boris Yeltsin

with his family," the Belarusian independent weekly "Nasha

Niva" commented on 28 June. That comment appears all the more

bitter in light of the fact that most Belarusians still show

no tendency or desire to stop being entertained in such a

way.
