Responding the words of Glafcos Clerides, the leader of the Greek Cypriot administration, who said ''shuttle diplomacy cannot reach any where, Turkey should be put pressure on'', Denktas stressed, ''Turkey will be put pressure to abandon her rights on Cyprus. It is nothing but a foolish idea. Greece which has started the Cyprus question and could not carry the honor of her signature on the 1960 agreement, should be put pressure on.''

Noting that ''if those who are interested in Cyprus question tell Clerides 'you are not the government of Turkish Cypriots', the Cyprus question will be solved within six months'', Denktas said none of the countries begin peace negotiations by denying its own presence.

Meanwhile Sukru Sina Gurel, the State Minister, emphasized that Turkey always supports the Turkish Cypriots' fight for freedom and independence.

Italy is also the member of the developed seven countries (G-7) of the world together with the US, Germany, France, Britain and Canada.

Public loans and recession in population are the two important problems of Italy, which has overcome its economic problems in a great extent.

The population of Italy has increased by one million between 1980-1997 and her population can decrease to 42 million in the near future.

Italy, which is the third biggest trade partner of Turkey after the US and Germany, is more advantageous in her trade with Turkey.

In accordance with the 13th article of the European Charter which foresees the extradition of the criminals, if somebody is caught in another country where he did not commit a crime, he has to be kept under custody for 40 days for his crimes in international platforms. The country where he committed a crime should ask for his extradition in 40 days.

''Why do you accuse the Italian television channels?,'' asked the correspondent of the Italian newspaper and Cem said ''because they did not broadcast anything about the attacks against Turkish journalists. This is a shame. I asked Turkish officials to send the frames covering the attacks against Turkish journalists in Rome to me and to the Italian television channels.''

Responding to a question asking whether or not Turkey will take political and commercial sanctions against Italy if the latter does not extradite Abdullah Ocalan to Turkey, Cem said ''we'll decide on this issue by taking into consideration the attitude of Italy in a short period of time.''

Meanwhile, La Republica noted that the Italian Foreign Ministry warned the Italian Embassies in the Middle Eastern countries against the possibility of terrorist actions concerning the chief of the separatist terrorist organization and asked them to increase the security measures in order to protect the Italian personnel in the embassies.

This is a new description.''

Responding to a question, Denizkurdu said that the necessary things are done in laws and practice against the attitude of Europe regarding human rights in Turkey.

''We wonder what Italy will do, as you know Italy requests the extradition of Pinochet from Britain. We'll also see whether or not the West, which also talks about human rights, will pursue a double standart about this issue. Thus, an important claim that is alleged to prevent the extradition of Ocalan to Turkey will be overcome by the abolishment of the death sentence,'' he added.

Stressing that if there is a situation which necessitates the use of force in the world, this force should be used against those who abolished ''the Cyprus Republic'' in contrary to international agreements, Korkmazcan added that the main task of UN, EU and other international institutions, which attribute importance to world peace should consider Turkish Cypriot people among world states.

Responding to a question about the letter sent by Greek Cypriot parliament to the Italian parliament requesting the release of Abdullah Ocalan, the chief of the separatist terrorist organization PKK, Hasan Korkmazcan said ''this is not a surprise, those who use the same methods and those who deal with politics by terrorism, hatred, and blood meet each other somehow.
