Articles about Kosovo and the Balkans
[English]Voice of America, 99-12-01 [01] KOSOVO SIX-MONTHS LATER BY NICK SIMEONE (WASHINGTON)
[English]U.S. Department of Daily Press Briefing #146, 99-12-01
[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-11-30 [49] ANKARA, Nov 30 (A.A) - Jozias van Aartsen, the Dutch Foreign Minister, said on Tuesday that they supported Turkey's candidacy to the European Union (EU), adding that a divided Cyprus could not become a member of the EU. Ismail Cem, the Foreign Minister, and his Dutch counterpart staged a joint press conference after inter-delegationary meeting. Addressing the press conference, Aartsen noted that many issues concerning Turkey ahd the Netherlands, were discussed at the meeting. Noting that the main goal of his visit was to further improve relations with Turkey, Aartsen said that the Netherlands fully supported Turkey's candidacy to the EU. Recalling that Turkey had recorded significant progress in the field of human rights, Aartsen said they believed that Turkey should also continue to progress on the issues of minority problem, the army's role in policy, and human rights after Helsinki Summit. Describing the recent developments in relations between Turkey and Greece, as very positive, Aartsen stressed that further improvement of relations was beneficial for both Turkey and the EU. When recalled that he had came together with representatives of the human rights associations early on Tuesday morning, Aartsen said that the Turkish government should record further progress in the field of human rights to fulfil political criteria. Aartsen reminded that the Turkish government had been progressing in the field of human rights since June. He underlined the importance of Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit's words, ''there are much more to be done'' in his letter to German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder prior to Cologne Summit. Quoting Cem as saying that reforms would continue after Helsinki Summit, Aartsen stressed that this was extremely important for both Turkey and the EU. When asked about a question on the capital punishment and the Supreme Court's approval of capital punishment given to Ocalan, Aartsen said that the Netherlands, as a member of the EU, is against the capital punishment. The important point is that the Turkish government said that it takes into consideration the international agreements it had earlier signed; Aartsen noted. Aartsen stated that this statement carries importance because it means that the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) can play a role in the trial process of Ocalan. Cem responded to the same question as saying that he is the Foreign Minister of Turkey and to this end, he does not want to comment on this issue. The Justice Ministry is responsible to deal with this issue, Cem added. Responding a question saying, ''you mentioned about the minority problem and the role of the army in political life in your speech. Can you make clear whom you mentioned about when saying minority and your statements regarding the army?'', Aartsen said that the role of army was included in the Turkish Constitution. Aartsen said that this is not a normal situation for the EU countries, and this issue should be discussed for the future of Turkey. He used the word ''minority'' to mention about ''the situation of Kurdish minority in Turkey,'' Aartsen said. Responding another question, Aartsen stated that they also talked about the application of Murat Karayilan, one of the top members of the terrorist organization, to the Dutch organs to be granted asylum. Aartsen said that the legal procedures were launched and Karayilan applied to them last Saturday. He told Cem about the view of the Dutch government regarding this issue, Aartsen added. When reminded of Greek Foreign Minister Yorgo Papandreou's latest statements about Turkey's EU candidacy, Aartsen said he was not informed of those statements. Aartsen said they were expending efforts within the EU to enable Greece to reach a good understanding with Turkey. Noting that Turkey's attitude was important for a compromise that would be reached on the issue, Aartsen said, ''we strongly believe that positive signals for Turkey's EU candidacy should be given at the Helsinki Summit and that Turkey should be a candidate.'' Speaking to the Elefterotipia newspaper published in Athens, Papandreou had said Greece would give a negative vote for the decision to be taken at Helsinki Summit if Greece's demands concerning Turkey's EU candidacy were not met, and that they wouldn't be responsible for this. When asked how he evaluated a divided Cyprus's membership to the EU, Aartsen said, ''this is a question that can be answered easily. We think that a divided Cyprus can't be a member of the EU, and this attitude won't change.'' When reminded of the opinions that the Wise Men process, which started between Turkey and Greece in 1997 with the initiative of the Netherlands but was cut following the Luxembourg Summit, could be revived, Aartsen said Foreign Minister Ismail Cem had good opinions about the issue. Foreign Minister Ismail Cem recalled that he made a statement about the issue the same day, and stressed once again that the process in question could be re-started. ''The talks between the delegations were very beneficial and productive. Several issues including Chechnya and Kosovo were discussed in the meetings,'' he said.

[English]Turkish Press Review, 99-12-01 [19] HELSINKI AND GREECE - BY YILMAZ OZTUNA (TURKIYE)
[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-11-30 [11] ''ANY CONCESSION WON'T BE GIVEN TO ATHENS'' Evaluating Greece's demands about the Aegean islands and the Greek Cypriot side's membership to the European Union (EU), Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said, ''these are the problems of the EU. Our position is clear. We don't have the intention to make concessions from neither Aegaen nor Cyprus.'' Meanwhile, Dutch Foreign Minister Jozias Van Aartsen will hold contacts in Ankara today as the official guest of Foreign Minister Ismail Cem.
[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-11-30 [24] THE GREEK CYPRIOTS PROCEED TO TRNC FOR RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES
[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-11-30 [31] ANKARA, Nov 30 (A.A) - Ismail Cem, the Foreign Minister, said on Tuesday, ''problems between Turkey and Greece should be resolved with peaceful methods. Turkey does not have any territorial ambitions from Greece.'' Cem issued a written statement concerning Helsinki summit. He stressed that progress in Turkey's full membership to the European Union (EU) would make a considerable contribution to security of geography where Turkey takes place. Cem added, ''the passing of the EU borders from the Balkans and the Aegean - as it is today - brings Turkey and Greece on opposite sides of this border perforce. This is a situation of potential contradiction even if it is not desired.'' Cem underlined that Turkey's candidacy to the EU would eradicate such contradiction, and provide stability and cooperation both in the Balkans and in the Aegean.
[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-11-30 [33] ANKARA, Nov 30 (A.A) - Ismail Cem, the Foreign Minister, said on Tuesday that the European Union (EU) membership is a prior target of Turkey, but it is not an obsession. Cem issued a written statement concerning Helsinki summit. In the statement, Cem referred to some news reports about Turkey's candidacy and Helsinki summit, and said that most of these news reports did not reflect the truth. Cem noted that Turkey has adopted the target of further improving relations with the EU since 1963 when the Ankara Agreement was signed. He said, ''It is out of question for Turkey to stay behind in her bid, modernization, and democracy in case the EU dimension is not finalized. Turkey has already been continuing her path. Turkey continuously improves herself in every field such as economy, democracy, administration, and law.'' Recalling that relations between Turkey and the EU had been upset after Turkey's candidacy was not recognized officially at Luxembourg summit in 1997, Cem added, ''Turkey expects the EU to put an end to this discrimination at Helsinki summit in 1999. Turkey has put forward that she had adopted the Amsterdam Agreement, and the Copenhagen criteria. Within this framework, Turkey expects equal treatment with other candidate countries. Turkey is not in a position to accept preconditions and to fulfil conditions different than the other candidates.'' Recalling that joint working committees which were set up between Turkey and Greece, had recorded significant and positive progresses, Cem said they believe that problems between two countries could be resolved with the joint works. Cem reminded that documents which were agreed during Turkish-Greek joint committee works, reached to stage of signature. He added that Turkey described the agreement on ''Struggle Against Organized Crimes, Drug Trafficking, Illegal Migration, and Terrorism'' as a priority in further improvement of relations between Turkey and Greece. Cem said that these agreements can be signed in December, if the current positive improvement process in Turkey-Greece relations does not encounter any obstacles. He indicated that Yorgo Papandreou, the Greek Foreign Minister, was envisaged to be invited to Ankara for the signing ceremony.
[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-11-30 [35] ANKARA, Nov (A.A) - Foreign Minister Ismail Cem said on Tuesday the atmosphere of tension in the Aegean was leaving its place to detente as a result of the positive developments in the relations between Turkey and Greece. Cem issued a written statement concerning the Helsinki Summit. Recalling that there were problems between Turkey and Greece especially in Aegean awaiting to be solved, Cem said, ''it is possible for the two neighboring and allied countries to change the Aegean into a sea of friendship and peace by overcoming all of these problems through acceptable means. This should be the common target of the two countries.'' Stressing that unilateral movements in Aegean should be avoided to reach the common target, Cem said, ''provocations and threats should be avoided; reciprocal concerns and interests should be taken into consideration, and atmosphere of confidence and security should be created, and within this framework, all of the problems should be solved peacefully.'' ''We are ready to cooperate to this end. Turkey does not have any territorial ambition from Turkey. Turkey considers that the Agenda 2000 document includes appropriate methods for the solution of the problems between the two countries,'' he said. Cem stated that he thought the efforts of ''Wise Men Group'' on which Turkey and Greece reached a compromise in April 1997 by the initiative of the European Union (EU) Term President the Netherlands, could be re- started. ''The Wise Men initiative which can make a move in case of acceptance of Turkey's EU candidacy at Helsinki Summit will contribute to the searches for the solution of the Aegean problems with peaceful methods, '' he said. Pointing out that Turkey thinks that the Cyprus question and the relations with the EU are two separate issues, Cem emphasized, ''Turkey is absolutely opposed to evaluation of the relations with the EU within the context of Cyprus.'' Cem stressed that the legal and political objections that Turkey raised against the unilateral application of the Greek Cypriot administration for EU membership still protect their validity. ''We believe that statements and attitudes that can negatively affect the chance for comprehensive solution and the process should be avoided in a period that the U.N. Secretary General is giving start for the proximity talks in New York, and on the contrary, we believe that the statements and attitudes should be encouraging the two sides equally,'' he stated. Cem said the Helsinki Summit would be an important opportunity concerning the positive process between Turkey and Greece and the relations between Turkey and the EU. ''We expect all European countries to make use of this important opportunity,'' he added.

[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-12-01 [19] ISTANBUL, Dec 1 (A.A) - Rauf Denktas, the President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), said on Tuesday that the Turkish side cannot be made to accept anything by blackmail, or pressure. Denktas gave a conference in Istanbul regarding the Cyprus question. The Cyprus question was created by the Greek Cypriot and Greek sides, Denktas noted. Denktas stated that an agreement was signed to establish a federation which was based on the principle of having two sides and two nations in Cyprus, in 1977. But, the leaders of the Greek Cypriot side did not implement the agreement, Denktas stressed. Denktas emphasized that Glafcos Clerides, the leader of the Greek Cypriot side, wants a multi-national power in Cyprus rather than the guarantorship of Turkey. Clerides also wants to indirectly unite Cyprus to Greece by the European Union (EU), Denktas said. Denktas recalled that he met with Clerides for many times. He added that they reached a position to starting the talks from state to state rather than international talks today. The TRNC will have talks from state to state and have cooperation agreement from state to state but she will not give up Turkey's guarantorship; Denktas said. Denktas noted that the world started to realize that there are two states in Cyprus. Turkey had brough peace to Cyprus 26 years ago, Denktas reminded. The Turkish government gives the message to the whole world that she recognizes the TRNC, Denktas stated. Denktas stressed that Turkey told the whole world that she will not turn a blind eye to the efforts of Greeks or Greek Cypriots to usurp whole Cyprus. Cyprus question is a national matter of Turkey, Denktas added. When asked about the attitude of U.S. towards Cyprus question, Denktas explained the U.S attitude as ''the island should be given to Greece and Turkey should be compensated'' and added that this mentality has not changed. Pointing out to the power of the Greek lobby in the U.S., Denktas said that to this end, the U.S. cannot reach the point that the TRNC wants. They want to take the sovereignty out of the hands of TRNC but the Turkish Cypriots will continue their struggle and will make their sovereignty be accepted; Denktas noted. Denktas continued, ''they cannot make us accept anything by blackmail, terror, or pressure because we protect and maintain our sovereignty. We cannot make any concessions regarding our sovereignty.'' Denktas added that he will not meet with Clerides during the proximity talks in New York.

[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-12-01 [29] LEFKOSA, Dec 1 (A.A) - Sir David Hannay, the British Special Representative to Cyprus, said on Wednesday that Turkey's interest on Cyprus should be protected in efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Cyprus question. Addressing a radio programme on the Greek Cypriot Radio, Hannay said he was sure that Turkey which seized the opportunity of a future in Europe, would set up dialogue with all concerned sides on the issue of the Cyprus question. Sir David Hannay is scheduled to attend the proximity talks which will start in New York, the U.S., on December 3.
[English]Anadolu Agency: News in English, 99-12-01 [51] ISTANBUL, Dec 1 (A.A) - President Rauf Denktas of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) left on Wednesday for the U.S. to attend proximity talks which will begin in New York on December 3. Addressing a press conference at the Ataturk Airport prior to his departure, Denktas said that he would meet with Kofi Annan, the Secretary General of the United Nations, and then proximity talks would begin on December 6. Describing the proximity talks as a new opportunity, President Denktas said, ''we hope that the opinion which has been rejecting equality and sovereignty of the Turkish Cypriots for the past 36 years, will change during the proximity talks.'' When asked why the Cyprus question could not be resolved for 36 years, Denktas said, ''the solution is in the hands of the third sides, including the U.S., Britain, and the United Nations Security Council. We have been detained for 36 years with the aim of reconciling the Greek Cypriot side under the title of a legal Cyprus government. We have proposed confederation which is a realistic formula defending equality and sovereignty of both sides. We want to set up good neihbourhood relations with the Greek Cypriot side. We want to set up bridges in the common issues. Turkey has undeniable geopolitical rights on Cyprus. The Greek Cypriots should abandon their 36-year struggle to eradicate Turkey's guarantorship.'' He pointed out that it was a big mistake to promise the Greek Cypriot side full membership to the European Union (EU) prior to Helsinki Summit. Denktas said, ''we hope that the EU would not give a time-frame to the Greek Cypriot side as the government of whole island at Helsinki summit. If it happens, this will be the end of proximity talks in New York. No one should attempt forgery for solution of the Cyprus question. It is not possible to unite Cyprus by eradicating our sovereignty. We want a solution which will make peace permanent on the island.''
