[02] TWO TURKISH FISHERMEN WHO WERE ARRESTED IN UKRAINE RETURN HOMEISTANBUL - Two Turkish fishermen who were arrested after their boats were sunk by Ukranian coast guard boats while fishing three months ago, returned home on Friday.Captains of two fishing boats, Mehmet Yalcin and Cevat Celikkiran were released by Ukranian authorities on Thursday after staying under arrest for about two and a half months. The two fishermen arrived in Istanbul's Ataturk Airport on a plane owned by Ukranian Airlines and the two men were met by their relatives. Yalcin and Celikkiran told reporters that they were tried at a court ten times during the time they remained under arrest and claimed that they did not receive a just trial. They noted that that they were sentenced to pay a fine of 40,000 U.S. dollars for fishing in illegally and also added that they could not contact Turkey during the two and a half months they were under arrest. Naval Trade Chamber (DTO) Fishing Committee member Tuncer Seker said opening fire at the Turkish fishermen by Ukranian coast guard boats is caused by the cooperation between some people in Turkey with the Ukranian mafia. ''Some people don't want Turkish fishermen to catch turbot fish in Ukrania to prevent the fish prices from dropping. We might have new problems in the coming season in Ukranian territorial waters which have plenty of turbot fish,'' Seker explained. On March 22, 2000, Ukranian coast guard boats had opened fire at Turkish fishermen who were catching turbot fish in Ukranian territorial waters. Durmus Cinar had lost his life in the accident while many fishermen were taken under custody. Forty-seven fishermen who were released some time ago but Yalcin and Celikkiran had been kept under arrest. [03] LIST OF TRNC MINISTERS WHO ARE GOING TO GENEVA ANNOUNCEDANKARA - The list of ministers and other government officers from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) who will participate in the third round of the proximity talks in Geneva on July 5 has been announced on Friday.The delegation headed by President Rauf Denktas will leave the TRNC on July 4 morning and fly to Geneva via Istanbul.

Deputy Prime Minister Mustafa Akinci who attended the second round of talks said he will not be present during the third round of talks because ''it would not be right for him to go to Geneva due to the economic crisis, starting of the economic package, and also because the Parliament's activities will last for all summer.'' Opposition parties are not attending at the third round of talks. [04] PARLIAMENT DISCUSSES TRAFFIC TERRORISMANKARA - Parliament General Council accepted on Friday research proposals which were prepared to reveal the causes of traffic accidents in Turkey and also to decide on measures to prevent them.Orhan Bicakcioglu from the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) who spoke on the research proposals asked the Parliament to remove the ''Don't Become a Traffic Monster'' signs on the side of the roads and claimed that these signs were not good for the psychology of drivers. He said some regulations should be brought to help drivers drive in a healthy state of mind. ''If you give a ticket to the person who is driving, that person will be very upset. There is no such rule in any country in the world. The traffic ticket should be mailed to his address,'' Bicakcioglu said. Speaking about road quality, Bicakcioglu said constructing roads according to certain standards was a big factor to cut down the loss of lives in traffic accidents. He said the blackout time ordered by the Supreme Radio and Television Board (RTUK) on tv channels should be used to educate people on traffic rules. Numan Gultekin from the Democratic Left Party (DSP) reminded other deputies that Boray Uras who lost his daughter, Selin, in a traffic accident in Istanbul's Bagdat Avenue, has been walking to Ankara to protest traffic terrorism and he received support from all sections of the society. ''Turkey is facing a much more destructive type of terrorism than the bloody terrorist organization. This is traffic terrorism,'' Gultekin said. There are measures that can be taken to reduce traffic accidents that result in deaths or big financial damage, Gultekin said and asked the Parliament to reduce the number of passengers and amount of load on trucks and busses on highways. Ediz Hun from the Motherland Party (ANAP) said despite the regulations that have been made for years, the efforts remained insufficient. Noting that Turkey tops the list of countries with the highest number of traffic accidents, Hun said all buildings should have parking lots and heavier punishments should be given to those who drive under the influence of alcohol. Sevgi Esen from the DSP said traffic is to respect other people's right to live. Since 1997, an average of 4,600 people die every year in traffic accidents, thousands are injured and the accidents also cause trillions of liras of financial loss, she explained. Zeki Unal from the Virtue Party (FP) said the financial cost of traffic accidents in Turkey is 4 quadrillion 700 billion TL every year which is more than twice of the amount set aside from the budget for investments. Unal asked the Parliament to raise the amount of fines given to those who drive under the influence of alcohol. Aydin Ayaydin from the ANAP said traffic accidents cannot be prevented only by passing laws and stressed the importance of education. Ahmet Tan from the DSP who lost his nephew at a young age at a traffic accident called on political party groups to pass the necessary laws to prevent more traffic related deaths. Later, the deputies decided to form a Parliament Research Commission to reveal the causes of traffic accidents and decide on the measures that need to be taken. [05] TRNC PRESIDENT DENKTAS HAS MEETING WITH UN SECRETARY GENERAL'S SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO CYPRUS WLOSEWICLEFKOSA - President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on Friday accepted Zbigniew Wlosewic, UN Secretary General's Special Representative to Cyprus who has recently started his post.Wlosewic, while entering the Ledra Palace border gate, was faced by the sanctions which the TRNC imposed on the UN Peace Force. Wlosewic's car was not allowed to enter the TRNC since it was not insured by an insurance company operating in the TRNC. Wlosewic walked pass the border gate and he was taken to the Presidency by Presidency Undersecretary Ergun Olgun. After his meeting with Denktas, Wlosewic told reporters that he presented a letter to Denktas expressing his concerns and protest over the decisions taken by the Turkish Cypriot side limiting the entrance of the UN Peace Force to the country. Wlosewic said the TRNC's decisions are preventing the UN Peace Force from functioning and therefore he, who is in charge of the UN Peace Force, could not perform his responsibilities. He stated that he hoped the TRNC government and Denktas would reconsider their decisions, as well as the position and the mission of the UN Peace Force, therefore they could continue their job. Wlosewic later left the Ledra Palace border gate walking. Denktas said Wlosewic presented him a letter telling him that they were facing some difficulties due to the TRNC's decisions and asked to make a few changes. During their meeting, Denktas said, he explained to Wlosewic that the difficulties were not caused by the TRNC and stressed that no insitution could pass to the northern part of the island with the Greek Cypriot's permission under any conditions. Turkish Cypriots do not want disagreements with any sides and they have cooperated with the UN in their activities so far because the UN had also consulted the Turkish side for this cooperation, Denktas stated. When asked how their relations would continue from now on, Denktas said, ''the relations would continue as they are continuing today but they would not let them damage their status.'' Denktas thanked to OIC for its support to TRNC's confederation proposal and added that the Greek Cypriots tried very hard to prevent this from happening. [06] SEZER SPEAKS AT GRADUATION CEREMONY OF POLICE ACADEMY -''STATE OF LAW GUARANTEES INDIVIDUALS' RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS'' -''ALL ACTIONS OF RULERS IN A STATE OF LAW ARE INSPECTED BY JURISDICTION''ANKARA - President Ahmet Necdet Sezer said ''the state of law guarantees individuals' rights and freedoms, and all the actions of the rulers in a state of law are inspected by jurisdiction and therefore the state of law provides legal security to people,'' when he spoke at the 55th term graduation ceremony of the Police Academy on Friday.Celebrating all the graduates for their success, Sezer said now they will have to fulfil the very difficult and important task of representing the state's legal power and maintaining peace and security in the society. ''Our world has gone through changes in many areas in the last century,'' Sezer said. ''The system of thought has changed; democracy, supremacy of law and human rights have become determining factors in the future of nations. The Turkish Republic has openly displayed its target to become a modern nation under the leadership of Ataturk. The state of law which is the basis for democracy in modern societies requires the protection of basic rights and freedoms, and inspection of legislative and executive organs by independent jurisdiction.'' The value given to human rights by the societies show the level of civilization those nations have reached, he said. ''Constitutional changes have been made to expand basic individual rights and freedoms,'' Sezer continued. ''Today, the most important principle of the democracies is that the state exists for people. The state of law came into existence because of the need to protect individuals against the state's power. Therefore, the state of law guarantees basic rights and freedoms and rulers in this system are inspected by the justice.'' State of law and supremacy of law have today become universal standards and they complement each other, Sezer noted. ''The state's reason for existence is to protect people's political, social and economic rights and freedoms and prevent the violation of these rights. One of the basic qualities of the Turkish Republic is that it respects human rights. Basic rights and freedoms have been listed in the Constitution. The Constitution secures people's right for privacy, freedom to communicate, travel and accomodate, freedom of belief, freedom of thought and expression. People cannot be arrested or their travel cannot be limited unless there is a situation defined by the law. Only the judge can decide to arrest an individual and people should be informed about the reasons that led to their arrest. All these regulations are required by humanitarian values.'' There would be an abuse of these rights if there are no limits, Sezer said and added that only the law can limit these freedoms in a way which will not contradict with a democratic society. [07] STATE MINISTER GUREL SAYS THEY ARE FORMING NEW POLICY TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS OF TURKISH CITIZENS LIVING ABROADAMSTERDAM - State Minister Sukru Sina Gurel is continuing his contacts in the Netherlands as a part of his tour to European countries which aims to collect information about the problems of Turkish citizens living abroad.Gurel was first briefed by the Turkish authorities in the Hague about the problems and later he had a meeting with representatives of Turkish associations and organizations in the Netherlands. During the meeting which was also attended by the Turkish Ambassador in the Hague Aydan Karahan, Gurel said they have decided to form a new policy which is based on the ''active participation of Turkish citizens in the societies they live in''. He stated that they will take more concrete decisions at such meetings to achieve this goal. If Turkish citizens living in European countries become more active individuals, both Turkey and these countries will benefit from this, he added. Gurel said it is very important to integrate Turkish citizens with the societies they live in without assimilating them. ''I am explaining to my foreign colleagues that we have to protect our identity while integrating with European societies,'' he noted. Education is the basic element to maintain integration with the society and parents of children living abroad have great responsibilities in this area, he went on to say. He also called on Turkish associations and organizations to work for the education of Turkish children abroad. Representatives of various associations and organizations expressed their problems such as unemployment and education and asked the Turkish govenment to bring a solution to their problems. Following the Netherlands, Gurel will go to Sweden on Sunday. [08] ISRAELI DELEGATION TO COME TO TURKEY NEXT WEEK TO FURTHER DISCUSS PURCHASING MANAVGAT'S WATERSTEL AVIV - An Israeli delegation will come to Turkey next week to discuss the purchase of Manavgat's waters.The delegation which is formed by ministry officials and water experts, is aiming to finalize the talks which came to a standstill due to a disagreement on price. A high level Israeli authority who attended meetings last week in Turkey, told A.A correspondent that Turkey is ready to sell water and they are expecting to agree on a price this time. The same person said the only existing problem right now is that there are circles in Israel who want to solve Israel's water problem by setting up facilities to purify sea water and they insist on signing a contract which would last only for a year with Turkey. According to the previous plan, Israel was going to purchase 50 million cubic meters of water every year from Turkey and this was going to last for five years. If this term is dropped to one year, it is stated that Turkey cannot make much reduction in the price. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak who wants to buy water from Turkey, asked for a report within two weeks from Turkey which includes all details of the water purchase. The final decision over the water purchase will be taken at a cabinet meeting late July. In the meantime, lobbies who oppose to the project increase their pressures on the government. They claim that they can obtain fresh water from the sea by setting up purification facilities and this would cost them only 55 cents per cubic meters of water. The biggest concern of these circles is being dependent on another country to obtain water. To remove this concern, Barak administration is offering both to set up purification facitlities and also to buy water from Turkey. [09] OIC 27TH FOREIGN MINISTERS MEETING -OIC SUPPORTS TRNC IN JOINT DECLERATIONKUALA LUMPUR - Organization for Islamic Conference (OIC) which has 56 member countries expressed support to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) prior to the third round of talks which will start in Geneva on July 5 between TRNC President Rauf Denktas and leader of the Greek Cypriot side Glafkos Clerides.The joint declaration signed at the end of OIC 27th foreign ministers said OIC members strongly supports the rightful case of the Muslim Turkish Cypriots.

The joint declaration stresses that equal political status of the two sides on the island is the key principle for a comprehensive solution of the Cyprus problem. ''OIC calls both sides to recognize their equal status and it supports the well meaning efforts of the UN Secretary General. EU candidacy of the Greek Cypriot side is causing difficulties in talks in Cyprus. Over arming of the Greek Cypriot side is threatening peace and stability on the island. OIC welcomes the confederation proposal of the Turkish Cypriot side dated August 31, 1998. OIC has decided to consider full membership application of the Turkish Cypriot side to OIC,'' it was stated. In the meantime, Foreign Ministry authorities said the proposals of Turkey have been included in the declaration without undergoing any changes. In its decision regarding the Western Thrace, OIC stated that according to the Lausanne Treaty, the Turkish minority in the Wetern Thrace has the right to speak their language, to practice their religion and to elect their own representatives in every field.

Thousands of people both from Turkey's other regions and also from abroad are coming to the south east Turkey to see the Ataturk Dam.
