Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-26 [32] PRIME MINISTER ECEVIT: - ''IT WILL BE NOT REALISTIC TO EXPECT CYPRUS
QUESTION TO BE SOLVED WITH GREECE'S CONTRIBUTION WHILE MAIN PROBLEMS
BETWEEN TURKEY AND GREECE REMAINED UNSOLVED''
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-26 [33] BRUSSELS, Sept 26 (A.A) - Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said on Sunday
that it would be not realistic to expect Cyprus question to be solved with
Greece's contribution while main problems between Turkey and Greece
remained unsolved. Ecevit responded to questions of journalists at the
Brussels Airport prior to his visit to the U.S. When reminded of U.S.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's statement saying that Greece and
Turkey should hold negotiations on the Cyprus issue,'' Ecevit said, ''First
of all, Turkey and Greece should come to the level of negotiating Aegean
dispute. They should accept our invitation to hold talks on the issue. A
promising dialogue has started recently. But this dialogue did not bring
main problems between the two countries onto its own agenda. It cannot
bring it for the time being anyway. It will be not realistic to expect
Cyprus question to be solved with Greece's contribution while main problems
between Turkey and Greece remained unsolved. Cyprus question shold be
solved between the two communties on the island. In accordance with our
opinion, there is not any problem on Cyprus. But those who claim that there
is problem, should leave its solution to the communities on the island.
Otherwise, I do not think that it would not be useful to add Cyprus
question to the problems which were not even discussed between Turkey and
Greece.'' When asked what his policy towards Northern Iraq was, Ecevit said,
''as I have just mentioned I am taking pains not to say anything except the
Cyprus question prior to our talks in Washington D.C. Otherwise, my visit
to the U.S. became unnecessary. I want you to show patience. The Northern
Iraq issue will be discussed at the meetings. Turkey's increasing
responsibilities and intensified burden on her due to the situation in
Northern Iraq will be discussed. However, I don't want to talk on the
details. Even I don't know whether there is an American plan that can be
realistic and reasonable at this moment. We will together know this in
coming days.'' When asked what his expectations for the economic field were,
the Prime Minister said, ''as I said early this morning, they are moderate
and rightful expectations. These rightful expectations have not been met up
until now. Of course, we will want these expectations responded. For
example, the embargo imposed on Iraq is seriously harming Turkey after
Iraq. the direct damage is at least 30-35 billion U.S. dollars. Because,
the situation in Iraq made the crossing ways to the gulf difficult. Besides,
the authority gap in Northern Iraq escalated terrorism in Turkey. Thus
these put very serious burden on Turkey. However, even a single step to
balance or compansate this burden was not taken.'' ''I think the U.S. does
not collect duty on the textiles and ready-made clothing exported by the
European Union (EU) countries while she wants the EU accept our membership.
Thus I think that the U.S. has to logically give the same means to Turkey
as the EU members concerning textiles,'' he said.
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-25 [04] NEW YORK, Sept 25 (A.A) - Ismail Cem, Foreign Minister, met on Friday
with Madeleine Albright, the U.S. Secretary of State, in New York. At the

unconditional negotiations. Turkish officials did not give any detailed
information about the meeting between Cem and Albright, but told the A.A
correspondent that the meeting was positive. Meanwhile, the U.S. sources
pointed out that the Washington Administration has given priority to bring
two leaders together in New York within framework of the call of Kofi Annan,
the Secretary General of the United Nations. Diplomatic sources noted that
the U.S. expects Turkey to convince President Rauf Denktas of the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to start the negotiations. At her
meeting with Cem, Albright gave signals that the U.S. President Bill
Clinton will reiterate the same suggestions when he come together with
Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit. The meeting between Prime Minister Ecevit and

of ''Cyprus Pressure'' which was brought onto agenda of the bilateral talks

negotiations unless TRNC's state status is recognized on the international
platform.

Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-26 [25] ANKARA, Sept 26 (A.A) - Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said on Sunday
that expansion of NATO's interests and Turkey's enlargement of her region
had added new dimensions into relations between Turkey and the U.S. Staging
a press conference at the Esenboga Airport prior to his departure, Prime
Minister Ecevit said that Turkey and the U.S. have friendly relations which
stem from common principles and are based on mutual confidence. Ecevit said,
''Expansion of NATO's interests and Turkey's enlargement of her region had
added new dimensions into relations between Turkey and the U.S. We have not
any further demands except our rights in economic issues. We will also hold
contacts on overcoming the problems caused by the quake.'' ''Following the
quake which devastated Marmara Region, I want to thank to the American
people especially the President for their sincere interest. The
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have also attached
importance to the issue. We will come together with the high-level
officials of these two organizations,'' Ecevit said. When asked what he
thought about the disputes between Turkey and the U.S. concerning the
Turkish Republic of North Cyprus (TRNC) and Northern Iraq, Ecevit said, ''I
do not believe there will be any pressure, but there may be some
differences of opinion. However, Turkey and the U.S. have a good dialogue
and friendly relations. I believe that the problems can be easily solved in
such an atmosphere.'' Meanwhile, responding to a question, Cumhur Ersumer,
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, said,
''There are important issues in the energy field like the Caspian basin oil,
natural gas and the Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline project. We will bring these
issues onto agenda.'' Prime Minister Ecevit and accompanying delegation
will return to Turkey on October 2, after wrapping up their contacts in
Washington D.C., and New York.
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-26 [31] BRUSSELS, Sept 26 (A.A) - Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said on Sunday
that Turkey's full membership to the European Union (EU) was a right
stemming from international agreements, adding, ''the EU certainly will
knock at Turkey's door in future.'' Ecevit responded to questions of
journalists at the Brussels Airport prior to his visit to the U.S. When
asked, ''You are in Brussels, the capital of the EU. The Helsinki Summit
will be held in December. Are you hopeful about the summit?'' Ecevit said,
''I am not dreaming about these issues. But all I can say that Turkey's
full membership to the EU is a right stemming from the international
agreements, her history, her geography and her culture. Although several
European countries do not consider us as European, Turkey is a European
country. Turkish people are not only European, but at the same time they
are Balkanite, Mediterranean, and Asian. With her mixed identity, Turkey is
a significant country in the Eurasianization process.'' ''Actually, the EU
will soon understand that it is in need of the membership of such a
country. However, at this stage, I don't want to make an estimation whether
a very positive decision would be taken at Helsinki Summit, and I am not
carried away by great imaginings. However, as I said the EU will absolutely
knock at Turkey's door and resort to Turkey in the future. They want to
accept Turkey as a half-guest,'' he said. When asked what the top-pirority
issue of the agenda of his visit to the U.S. would be, the Prime Minister
said, ''everything.'' When reminded of the statement of the U.S. Secretary
of State which was published by a newspaper the same day saying that the
U.S. wanted the seminaries for theological education opened, Ecevit said,
''now, I don't have to explain the details of our contacts in Washington
D.C. and New York. I don't approve of starting the negotiations without
Washington D.C. I did not respond for weeks to the questions about the news
and comments concerning the expectations from the U.S. I did response to a
question and it was about Cyprus. I said that we can't be exposed to any
pressure concerning Cyprus, and we never accept even if the pressure is put
on us. I think our meetings in the U.S. especially the meeting with Mr.
Bill Clinton will be very comprehensive. Because, after the two-pole world
came to an end, the NATO's functions and responsibilities were expanded de
facto. Meanwhile, Turkey's region was also expanded, and these two
processes enabled Turkey and the U.S. to come more closer to each other
compared to past, and share a common fate. Thus all of the global problems
are actually on the common agenda of Turkey and the U.S.''

Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-27 [22] LONDON, Sept 27 (A.A) - Sabahattin Cakmakoglu, the National Defense
Minister, said on Monday that Turkish Air Forces is the most talented air
force among the other European air forces. Speaking to the British Jane's
Defense Weekly (JDW) magazine, Cakmakoglu noted that Turkish Air Forces,
including the highest number of F-16 war planes following the U.S., is the
only air force in Europe which has the biggest personnel, opportunity and
training capacities. Stressing that the Turkish Armed Forces can charge 40,
000 or 50,000 staff for a joint operation in a short time, Cakmakoglu
stated that the Turkish Armed Forces can also provide the supply,
maintanence and the fire support of the operation in a short time.
Cakmakoglu added that five or six battalions can reach their target in a
short time by an air attack. Noting that the risk resulting from the long-
range missiles does not only come from the southern neighbours of Turkey,
Cakmakoglu stressed that the most important point is to own the necessary
defense equipment to overcome the risk without it spreads and that to this
end, the Turkish Armed Forces carries out short and long term exercises.
Stating that the aim of the cooperation between Turkey and Israel is to
contribute to the two nations, two countries and to the stability of the
region, Cakmakoglu recalled that the military visits and agreements between
the two countries led to the speculations in the Arab world saying that
Turkey and Israel set up a strategical alliance. Pointing out that these
allegations are continuously uttered by Syria, Iran, Iraq and Greece,
Cakmakoglu emphasized that the fact that the the press is too much
interested in the military dimension of the relations between the two
countries play an important role in strengthening the strategical alliance
image. Emphasizing that the tension between Turkey and Syria which
escalated in the beginning of October 1998 revealed that the Turkish-
Israeli cooperation does not target any third countries, Cakmakoglu pointed
out that Israel stopped her military exercises at the Syrian border during
the crisis. Underlining that it is obvious that Turkey will not arrange her
relations with Israel in accordance with the developments in the Middle
East Peace Process, Cakmakoglu said that the Turkish-Israeli relations
don't constitute a pact. Cakmakoglu said, ''the latest developments
indicate that the Arab countries started to understand the real dimension
of our relations with Israel and that they started to digress from the
distorting approaches.'' Referring to the Turkish defense industry,
Cakmakoglu noted that Turkey will continue buying weapons and modernization
in the following 25 years and that the National Defense Ministry will carry
out some renewal studies for directing the defense industry initiatives.
Cakmakoglu added that they are carrying out significant initiatives to set
up a Turkish defense industry which is away from the idea of protection.
Emphasizing that the Turkish Armed Forces has become a modern army by high
technology, Cakmakoglu stated that Turkey needs some developed technologies,
including guided systems, command-control-communication-computer-
intelligence systems and remote control systems in 2000.
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-27 [26] IZMIR, Sept 27 (A.A) - Rauf Denktas, the President of the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) said on Monday that ''we hope that
Premier Bulent Ecevit will explain U.S. President Bill Clinton what Cyprus
issue means for Turkey.'' Responding to questions of journalists, TRNC
President Denktas said that one shouldn't consider the Cyprus issue as a
problem that will negatively effect Turkish-American relations. ''We hope
that Premier Ecevit will tell Clinton that a solution for the Cyprus issue
can only be found by recognition of two sovereign states and through
friendship. We expect others to understand us and we expect an approach
which will encourage Greek Cypriots to compromise. Everybody think that
Turkish Cypriots don't have a compromising attitude, but they are mistaken.
There is no one Cyprus government. Cyprus government was a partnership, but
it had been destroyed by Greek Cypriots by fight. Turkish Cypriots saved
itself from this war.'' Referring to the Turkish-Greek warm relations after
the earthquake disaster, TRNC President Denktas said that ''we are pleased
by the Turkish-Greek warm relations. This is natural between two allies. I
hope this warm relations can show Greece its old mistakes. Turkey does not
have territorial demands over Cyprus. Turkish Cypriot nation has the right
to live as a sovereign nation.''

certainly will knock at Turkey's door in future.''
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-27 [14] ECEVIT GOES TO THE U.S. WITH HOPE Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit, who

the officials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank
comes the first in his visit to the U.S.. Pointing out that Baku-Ceyhan oil
pipeline will be taken up, Ecevit reiterated that they will not accept
pressure on Northern Iraq and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)
issues.
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-27 [16] WASHINGTON D.C., Sept 27 (A.A) - Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit's visit
to the U.S. aims at carrying relations between Turkey and the U.S. to the
21st century, it was reported on Monday. High-level diplomatic sources told
A.A correspondent, ''our aim is neither to account nor to receive the U.S.'
bravo.'' Stressing that a stable majority was provided in the parliament
for the first time in years, the sources said that Turkey targets to settle
the relations with the U.S. into a long-term plan to this end. Noting that
the recent financial reforms in Turkey stemmed from Turkey's internal
dynamics, not from the West's demands, diplomatic sources pointed out that
democratic reform will accelerate if Turkey succeeds in putting an end to
terrorism. The same sources noted that Turkey will not abandon her rights
and her concerns regarded with Cyprus, adding that Turkey has protected her
position on the island as a result of her rightful case. They said,
''Turkey has taken serious steps regarded with the Cyprus question, and
come to the level of accepting indirect negotiations. Continuation of this
process is not clear yet, but serious oppositions may emerge in coming days
with other powers except for the U.S.'' Pointing out that it is not known
yet whether or not Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations,
will call on sides to sit on the negotiation table, the same sources added
that the Turkish side has several conditions to start talks.
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-27 [25] TRNC PRESIDENT DENKTAS: ''WE HOPE THAT PRIME MINISTER ECEVIT WILL
EXPLAIN U.S. PRESIDENT CLINTON WHAT CYPRUS ISSUE MEANS FOR TURKEY''
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-27 [26] IZMIR, Sept 27 (A.A) - Rauf Denktas, the President of the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) said on Monday that ''we hope that
Premier Bulent Ecevit will explain U.S. President Bill Clinton what Cyprus
issue means for Turkey.'' Responding to questions of journalists, TRNC
President Denktas said that one shouldn't consider the Cyprus issue as a
problem that will negatively effect Turkish-American relations. ''We hope
that Premier Ecevit will tell Clinton that a solution for the Cyprus issue
can only be found by recognition of two sovereign states and through
friendship. We expect others to understand us and we expect an approach
which will encourage Greek Cypriots to compromise. Everybody think that
Turkish Cypriots don't have a compromising attitude, but they are mistaken.
There is no one Cyprus government. Cyprus government was a partnership, but
it had been destroyed by Greek Cypriots by fight. Turkish Cypriots saved
itself from this war.'' Referring to the Turkish-Greek warm relations after
the earthquake disaster, TRNC President Denktas said that ''we are pleased
by the Turkish-Greek warm relations. This is natural between two allies. I
hope this warm relations can show Greece its old mistakes. Turkey does not
have territorial demands over Cyprus. Turkish Cypriot nation has the right
to live as a sovereign nation.''
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-27 [27] TRNC PRESIDENT DENKTAS: ''AIM OF PREMIER ECEVIT'S VISIT TO U.S. IS NOT
TO COME TO A DECISION ABOUT CYPRUS ISSUE''
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-27 [28] AYDIN, Sept 27 (A.A) - Rauf Denktas, the President of the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) said on Monday that the aim of Premier
Bulent Ecevit's visit to the U.S. is not to come to a decision about the
Cyprus issue, adding ''nobody could had persuaded us to accept the Greek
Cypriot administration for 10 years in spite of the oppression, violence
and murder till Turkey came to help us.'' Responding to questions of
journalists before receiving the honourary doctorate given to him by Adnan
Menderes University, Denktas stressed that ''it is very detrimental and
wrong to create such an atmosphere as if the Cyprus issue is a mile-stone
in Turkish-American relations. Relations of the U.S. with Turkey and the
interests of the U.S. are very different things. The U.S. works to solve
this issue and will continue to do so. U.S.-Turkey relations and the Cyprus
issue are also different things. I suppose the U.S. will hear from Mr.
President this time how importance the Cyprus issue for Turkey is.'' Noting
that the violence in Cyprus was five times serious than the one in Bosnia
created by Milosevic, Denktas said that the whole world ignored these
events on Cyprus in the past. ''The European Union (EU) is not our train,
we don't have our motherland which will welcome us in the station we will
go,'' said Denktas, adding the Turkish society on Cyprus should be
recognized as a state, not a minority for the resuming of the inter-
communal negotiations on the island. Denktas said that they expect Premier
Ecevit to once again explain the attitude of Turkey about this issue to the
world in his contacts in Washington D.C., adding the sovereignty, freedom
or equality are tried to be formalized on the island. ''There is no formula
of equality. Sharing sovereignty and freedom can't be possible. 36 years
passed, but the world couldn't identify the matter, thus we couldn't solve
the Cyprus issue,'' he added.

Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-28 [17] ANKARA, Sept 28 (A.A) - President Suleyman Demirel said on Tuesday
that the target was not war, but peace, adding that ''the weapons which
were used for war will be used to provide peace. If this can be understood
well, and if the balance can be preserved well, the sufferings of the 20th
century will not be repeated in the coming centuries.'' Addressing the
opening ceremony of IDEF 99, Demirel recalled that the fair was a defense
industry fair, and noted that works of the technology, samples and the
weapons were exhibited in the fair. Stressing that ''defense industry''
term was one which was carefully selected, Demirel said ''we don't say war
industry. We should altogether understand the meaning of this.'' Recalling
that 20th century was a stage to important wars, Demirel said weapons which
are products of war indsutry were used in these wars. Demirel said ''it has
been revealed that these weapons which were made by human beings were
devastating to human beings. Nearly 60-70 million people lost their lives
in the first and second World Wars. Many cities and counties were destroyed
and civilized countries were damaged. Yet, it was understood after 1945
that war was in vain. The target is not war, the target is peace. The
weapons which were used for war should be used to provide peace to
consolidate peace. This means, the weapons will be under the service of
defense industry. The term ''deterrence'' expresses one of the most
important concepts which human beings revealed. The weapons exist to
prevent war. If this can be understood well and if this balance can be
preserved well, the sufferings will not be repeated again.'' Demirel said
the world entered 21st century in an organized way, adding that the U.N.
and NATO took very important steps to this end and gained positive results.
Demirel said ''defense industry is the highest industry power of the
country. This means, the countries who could not succeed in industrialization,
will not have defense industry. Turkey has a defense industry. Armed forces
and defense industry of Turkey is for deterrence, to provide peace in the
region and to serve peace in the world. This was seen in various places
like Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Somalia. I consider them as very
important examples.'' Recalling that Turkey experienced a very important
quake disaster, Demirel said more than 15,000 people died and nearly 200,
000 houses were demolished. Demirel pointed out that 87 countries rushed to
the help of Turkey, adding that ''I think this is a very important incident
while entering to the year 2000's. I wish all the world countries to be in
this feeling and I also wish the weapons to be used for peaceful reasons.''

Wednesday that Turkey has a powerful and fundamental state order, stressing,
''there is not racial segregation in Turkey. Many citizens of Kurdish
origin have become a part of Turkish families and they have never been
exposed to discrimination. We don't feel the need for searching the origin
of people.'' On the third day of his visit to the U.S., the Prime Minister
staged a press briefing at the Willar Intercontinental Hotel in Washington
D.C. Addressing the press briefing which was organized by the National

cruel terrorism in last 15 years, lost her 37 thousand citizens most of who

Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-29 [06] LEFKOSA, Sept 29 (A.A) - President Rauf Denktas of the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) described on Wednesday the decision
which was taken at the meeting between Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit and
U.S. President Bill Clinton, to send Alfred Moses, Special Representative
of Clinton to Cyprus, to the island, as a positive development. Responding
to questions of journalists, President Denktas said, ''I am pleased that at
the meeting, Mr. Ecevit and Mr. Clinton agreed on not to allow Cyprus to
return back to the situation before 1974.'' Noting that Moses' visit to
Cyprus will be very useful, Denktas stressed, ''I am sure that when Mr.
Moses sees the facts, he will change opinion.'' President Denktas also
added, ''The decision of not allowing Cyprus to return back to the
situation before 1974, also means not to give opportunity to the Greek
Cypriots to repeat the incidents in 1963. The agreement which was signed in
1960, in fact had put forward a guaranteed regime not to allow the Greek
Cypriots to do the things which they did between 1963 and 1974. The
agreement had brought a partnership system. It had charged three
guarantors. Despite the agreement, incidents occured in 1963. The decision
of not allowing Cyprus to return back to the situation before 1974, also
means to change the system in 1960 into another one which will prevent the
homicides committed in 1963.'' Stressing that there are two republics, two
communities, two cultures, and two democracies on the island, President
Denktas said that having regard to this fact, they cannot return back to
the situation before 1974. Meanwhile, the TRNC Council of Ministers will
convene later today to evaluate the meeting between Prime Minister Bulent
Ecevit and U.S. President Bill Clinton.
Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-29 [10] WASHINGTON D.C, Sept 29 (A.A) - Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said on
Wednesday that Turkey has a powerful and fundamental state order, stressing,
''there is not racial segregation in Turkey. Many citizens of Kurdish
origin have become a part of Turkish families and they have never been
exposed to discrimination. We don't feel the need for searching the origin
of people.'' On the third day of his visit to the U.S., the Prime Minister
staged a press briefing at the Willar Intercontinental Hotel in Washington
D.C. Addressing the press briefing which was organized by the National
Press Club, Ecevit said they had discussed comprehensive issues and the
economic and commercial relations in detail at his meetings with U.S.
President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore. Prime Minister Bulent
Ecevit answered the questions about Turkey's political and economic
structure during the press briefing which was also attended by Cumhur
Ersumer, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Energy and Natural
Resources, and Ismail Cem, the Foreign Minister. Expressing his pleasure
and gratitude over the aid sent by the U.S. people and over the U.S.
President's personal efforts regording the strong earthquake on August 17,
Ecevit said U.S. President Bill Clinton and he had discussed the earthquake,
lifting of the textiles quotas, ''Trade and Investment Frame Agreement'',
''establihment of a Free Zone'' in the southeast, Caspian Sea natural gas
pipeline, Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline, Bosnia, Kosovo, relations between
Turkey and the European Union (EU), and Greece, and the European Defense
Identity. Ecevit said Clinton and he were of the same opinion that the
European Defense Identity should be developed within the framework of NATO.
Ecevit stressed that Clinton and he had reached a consensus that the Cyprus
qeastion can't be solved with bringing it before 1974. Recalling that more
than 15 thousand people were killed and more than 20 thousand others were
injured in the earthquake which affected nine provinces in Turkey, Ecevit
said, ''up until now, a total of 112 thousand tents have been distributed
but it is still insufficient. Also I mentioned the contributions of the
World Bank and international organizations.'' Emphasizing that Turkey has a
secular democracy, and she constitutes an example for the Islamic countries
with her contemporariness, Ecevit said the non-governmental organizations
had gradually increased their activities in Turkey. Stressing that the
Turkish state has a powerful ahd fundamental order, Ecevit said the women's
rights had been given in 1920s and 1930s before most of other contemporary
countries. Ecevit recalled that women were working at high levels also in
the army and police department. Noting that Turkey, who had witnessed a
cruel terrorism in last 15 years, lost her 37 thousand citizens most of who
were the people of Kurdish origin due to the PKK terrorist organization,
Bulent Ecevit said, ''there is not a racial segregation in Turkey. Many
citizens of Kurdish origin have joined Turkish families and they have never
been exposed to discrimination. We don't feel the need for asking the
origin of people. I learned later that the ministers of the cabinet which I
formed are of Kurdish origin.'' ''The citizens of Kurdish origin became the
Prime Minister, minister and general in Turkey,'' he added.

Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-29 [20] STRASBOURG, Sept 29 (A.A) - Ismail Cem, the Foreign Minister said on
Wednesday that Turkey can't abide with the verdict of the European Court of
Human Rights about ''Loizidou Case'' which caused a big problem in Turkish-
Council of Europe (COE) relations during the last two years. Sending a
letter to Halldor Asgrimson, the Foreign Minister of Iceland, the Term-
President of COE, Cem explained the views of Turkey about ''Loizidou
Case.'' The European Court of Human Rights took a decision last year,
condemned Turkey and requested Turkey to pay nearly 500,000 dollars to
Liliana Loizidou, a Greek Cypriot citizen as a compensation. Foreign
Minister Cem briefly said in his letter that: ''-Turkey had earlier
informed that she wouldn't take responsibility regarding an incident which
took place out of her territories. Therefore she can't pay compensation. -
Turkey recognized the authority and decisions of the European Court of
Human Rights after January 21, 1990. Turkey had earlier noted that a court
decision about an application regarding an event which took place before
the mentioned date can't be binding for her. - Cyprus question is an issue
which is at the agenda of U.N. Security Council. Thus other international
institutions can't take decisions which concerns this issue. The
application of the Greek Cypriot citizen has a political content, rather
than legal. - Turkey considers the proposal of Rauf Denktas, the President
of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to set up a common
commission aiming at finding a solution to the problem of those who lost
their houses in both sides of the island, as the most logical way.
Meanwhile the issue of Turkey's payment of material compensation to
Loizidou came to the agenda again in the COE Committee of Delegates meeting
held at the level of ambassadors in Strasbourg. COE member countries said
that the decision of the European Court of Human Rihgts had to be
absolutely abided and Turkey had to fulfil her obligations. Alev Kılıc,
Turkey's Permanent Representative to the COE reiterated the views explained
by Cem in his letter. The Committee of Delegates will take up the issue
once again between 5-6 October. Diplomatic sources say that the draft
resolution which urges Turkey to abide by the decision of the Court is
expected to be approved in that meeting. COE has the right to suspend the
membership of countries who don't abide by the decisions of the European
Court of Human Rights.

Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-09-29 [12] WASHINGTON D.C., Sept 29 (A.A) - Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said on
Tuesday that Turkey was not obliged to make a promise regarding
democratization and human rights issues. Ecevit said the U.S. officials
knew determination of Turkish government to this end. When a journalist
asked under which subject human rights and democratization were brought to
the agenda during his meeting with Bill Clinton, the U.S. President, Ecevit
said ''they knew that our government took important steps on that issue in
the short period of Parliamentary studies. To this end, they take into
consideration the concessions given by us related with the future.'' When
asked what kind of promises were made on this issue, Ecevit said ''we are
not obliged to make a promise. We have no such obligation to anybody. We
have said what we want to do and we did not meet any insistency for
details. Because they saw that the government was resolved to this end.''
Responding to another question on Baku-Ceyhan pipeline project, Ecevit said
''there are the oppositions of several companies. We have seen a
determination in the U.S. administration to overcome the resistances.''
Responding to the question which asked if the economic loss Turkey suffered
stemming from the de facto situation in Iraq, Ecevit said Clinton promised
to look for a solution to this question. When asked what kind of a message
he will give during his meeting with the World Bank and International
Monetary Fund (IMF) Presidents, Ecevit said ''our friends carry out
technical talks. I will express the pleasure we felt over the close
interest shown by IMF and the World Bank during the quake disaster.'' When
asked if Turkish-Greek relations were brought to the agenda during his
meeting with Clinton, Ecevit said ''Mr. Clinton asked my views regarding
the issue. I have told him that the dialogue, which started between our
foreign ministers were fruitful, yet noted that it would not be convenient
to expect discussion of basic problems suddenly. I have conveyed my views
related with Turkish-Greek relations and my opinion why several problems
could not be solved still, although there should be a mutual interest
between the two countries. I especially focused on the psychological and
historical reasons of it.'' Ecevit said starting of such a dialogue is
positive because if reciprocal suspicions can be overcome, I wish ways will
be opened for the solution of several basic problems like the Aegean
problem. Responding to another question Ecevit said military cooperation of
Turkey and the U.S. reached new dimensions, Ecevit said NATO widened
outside its former field of assignment and that thus Turkey's military
expenses increased. When a journalist asked if 100 million U.S. dollar
increase in textile quotas satified him or not, Ecevit said ''no result can
be obtained on this issue so far. Talks continue.'' Responding to another
question Ecevit said he has learned on his way to the U.S. that Greece will
limit its military exercises, adding that he could not learn the views of
General Staff and National Defense Ministry to this end. Prime Minister
Ecevit said all the manoeuvres in the Aegean or in some other places did
not have connection with Turkish-Greek relations, adding that most of them
generally aimed at training. Ecevit said ''some of them should take place.
This is a technical problem. Sometimes it may have political dimensions,
yet, most of the time it is a technical issue. Views of General Staff
should be determined to this end.'' Responding to another question Ecevit
said the death penalty given to Abdullah Ocalan, the head of the terrorist
organization, was not brought to the agenda during his meeting with Bill
Clinton, the U.S. President.
