[11] EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT'S REGULAR REPORT ON TURKEY'S PROGRESS TOWARDS ACCESSION

The regular report was prepared by French Parliamentarian Philippe Morillon from Christian Democrat Party.

The report said, ''on 13 December 1999, the Helsinki European Council decided to grant Turkey the status of applicant country for accession to the European Union (EU) and to set up an accession partnership and a single financial framework in order to help Turkey's application progress in accordance with the Copenhagen Criteria. Since then, Turkey has made remarkable efforts in devising a programme to develop its judicial framework in order to meet EU demands in a more satisfactory manner, with particular regard to human rights. However, we must also note and acknowledge that an awareness of the importance of these reforms has caused considerable upheavals in the various political parties and in Turkish public opinion. Turkish citizens are realising that Turkey's accession to the EU will require not only the 'painless' revision of their institutions but also a partial renunciation of sovereignty, to which they remain jealously attached, and a radical change in habits and outlook.''

''This is why, Parliament has proposed the setting up of a Europe-Turkey Forum involving expert representatives of the Turkish community and appointed MEPs who would consider in depth the issues involved. Turkish accession is too important a matter for the future of the Union and of Turkey itself for a decision to be taken in smoke-filled back rooms or behind closed doors. Lengthy debates will be needed, both in the European Parliament and in the national parliaments, and that is why it is generally accepted that the road will be long and difficult. The establishment of the Forum proposed by the European Parliament should allow us to overcome the initial obstacles encountered on this road,'' it said.

The report claimed that Europe was prepared to help Turkey find a solution to the ''Kurdish problem''.

The report defended, ''the second problem which will have to be solved as soon as possible concerns Cyprus. It is hard to understand today how it can remain divided by a wall.''

It noted, ''since the fight against terrorism may now be deemed to be over, the influence of the Turkish army in the drawing up of political decisions should be gradually reduced. 'Cedant Arma Togae'. The Latin tag still applies today.'' The tag means, ''weapons should be replaced with robe of law.''

Meanwhile, the enclosed motion for a resolution said, ''accession negotiations cannot begin until Turkey complies with the criteria drawn up at the European Council meeting in Copenhagen. Despite the progress already achieved along the path towards democratisation, human rights and the situation of minorities must continue to be improved by the implementation of those conventions.''

It said, ''whereas a climate of mutual trust should be created between Turkey and the European Union so that Turkey does not perceive the Union as an 'exclusive Christian club' but as a community of shared values which embrace, in particular, tolerance for other religions and cultures, and whereas no formal cultural or religious conditions are attached to accession to the European Union.''

It stressed, ''the European Parliament welcomed the signature by Turkey on 15 August and 8 September 2000 of four important UN conventions, on political, civil, social and cultural rights respectively, which must be ratified as soon as possible so that human rights and democratic pluralism may be guaranteed in that country.''

''Whereas, according to Lord Russell-Johnston, President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the confirmation by Ankara of the sentence imposed on former Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan is not in conformity with the principles of democratic pluralism. The European Parliament expresses its concern about the bill seeking to make it possible to dismiss civil servants on ideological or religious grounds. Whereas the election to the Presidency of the Republic of Mr Sezer, who has demonstrated his commitment to the rule of law, will make it easier for the necessary reforms to be successfully completed,'' it said.

The motion noted, ''the European Parliament views the recent decision by the Constitutional Court on the law offering a reprieve to those who have committed press offences as a step that reinforces the rule of law; encourages the competent authorities to take this opportunity to continue their reforms in this direction, knowing that this process will logically lead them to a fundamental reconsideration of Article 312 of the Penal Code. The European Parliament looks forward to the early abolition of the State Security Courts and welcomes the adoption of the law suspending the prosecution of, and penalties imposed on, press and broadcasting offences.''

Criticising the Turkish war planes' operation in Iraq, the motion said that the death penalty to be abolished as soon as possible as part of the reform of the Penal Code.

The motion said, ''the European Parliament reiterates its proposal for the setting up of discussion forums, consisting of eminent politicians from the European Union and Turkey as well as representatives of civil society, in order to promote the political dialogue and help Turkey progress along the path towards accession.''

''The European Parliament calls on the Turkish Government and the Turkish Grand National Assembly to give fresh support to the Armenian minority, as an important part of Turkish society, because of the tragedy that befell them before the establishment of the modern state of Turkey. It also calls for a separate solution to be found for the Kurdish problem, one accompanied by the requisite political, economic and social responses,'' it said.

The motion continued, ''the European Parliament welcomes the decisions taken by the European Council meeting in Helsinki to set up a single financial framework which would be based on an appropriate level of resources and an accession partnership; calls on the Council and Commission to implement those two decisions as soon as possible and to reassess the amount of the European Union's financial assistance to Turkey, which should meet the needs of the pre-accession strategy.''

It said that the European Parliament called on the Turkish Government to withdraw ''its occupation forces from northern Cyprus''.

The motion noted that The European Parliament called on the Turkish Government to improve its relations with all its neighbours in the Caucasus within the framework of a Stability Pact for the region.

The motion will become a non-binding recommendatory resolution after its approval by the European Parliament.

Meanwhile, the Armenian and Greek lobbies expended efforts to include the allegations on so-called genocide on Armenians in the report prepared by Morillon, but their efforts did not yield an outcome.

Sources said that some European parliamentarians would try to bring the so- called genocide on Armenians onto agenda this week.

Morillon had warned parliamentarians who are members of the EU Commission, and said that they did not need to follow their American friends' mistake.

He stressed that they did not have the right to speak about genocide.

French parliamentarian Daniel Marc Cohn-Bendit who submitted a motion to include the allegations on so-called genocide on Armenians in the report on behalf of the Greens Party, said that he would confess his sins.

Noting that Foreign Minister Ismail Cem and some members of the EU Commission warned him after he had submitted the motion, Cohn-Bendit said that he made a mistake.

Noting that the issue should be first discussed by the Turkish nation, Cohn- Bendit said that he was ready to withdraw the motion.

He stressed that it would be right not to include phrase of ''genocide'' in the report.

Parliamentarians underlined importance of being respectful to the United Nations' definition of ''concept of genocide''.

Sources said that some European parliamentarians would try to bring again the allegations concerning the so-called genocide on Armenians onto agenda this week.

Armenian lobby is expected to hold a demonstration in front of the European Parliament Building.

[12] OIC SUMMIT CONTINUES

''The proposal of confederation is a rational and constructive approach to the Cyprus question,'' told President Sezer in the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) summit held in Doha, Qatar.

Addressing the ninth OIC summit, Sezer said that he explained his ideas about the Palestinian problem and the Middle East peace process during yesterday's special session of the summit.

Sezer said that Iraq, which is a neighbour of Turkey is one of the most important countries of the Middle East, adding that there is an extraordinary situation in Iraq for the last 10 years.

The situation of the Iraqi people is getting worse due to the sanctions imposed on Iraq for a long time, said Sezer and added that ''we are concerned by the possibility that the social texture of Iraq can seriously be damaged by the sanctions. Iraq has to continue its cooperation with the United Nations (U.N) to end these negative conditions. However, the international society should also assure Iraq that it will have the positive results of this cooperation and the sanctions can end if the necessary conditions are fulfilled. I would like to stress in this framework that Turkey attributes great importance to protection of territorial integrity and political unity of Iraq.''

Pointing out to the historical and deep relations between Turkey and Bosnia, Sezer said that Turkey attributes great importance to Bosnian's maintanence of its territorial integrity and its multi-ethnic and multi-cultural structure within the borders recognized by the international society. Sezer said that Turkey believes that this is important for the peace and stability of the Southeast Europe.

''Turkey believes that the Dayton Peace Agreement has to be fully implemented for the installation of peace and stability in the region. OIC has to act in a more sensitive way regarding the reconstruction of Bosnia and its economic development,'' said Sezer.

Referring to the situation in Kosovo, Sezer said that Turkey wants full compliance with the U.N. Security Council Resolution No. 1244. Sezer stressed that the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural structure of Kosovo has to be protected and the pluralist democracy has to be installed there.

Sezer also underlined the importance of the participation of all Kosovar communities in the administration and the decision-making mechanism regarding the future of Kosovo. Sezer stressed that the acquired rights of Kosovar Turks have to be taken under guarantee, adding that the OIC has to more effectively participate in the economic reconstruction of Kosovo.

Referring to the developments in the Caucasus, Sezer expressed sorrow over the clashes in the region.

Stressing that the Karabakh problem constitutes the basic impediment that stands in front of the cooperation in the Caucasus, Sezer stated that 20 percent of the Azerbaijani territory is under occupation which is contrary to the international law and U.N. Resolutions.

Sezer said that an agreement that can be reached between Azerbaijan and Armenia through negotiations will be the start of a cooperation and friendship period for the whole Caucasus, adding that methods of making the existing cease-fire permanent have to be given priority.

Turkey attributes importance to the Minsk process activities, said Sezer and said that ''Turkey has always supported and will continue to support Azerbaijan in its right cause.''

Sezer said that Turkey is uneasy regarding the instability in the Northern Caucasus, adding ''although the clashes in Chechnya ended, it seems that the basic political, economic and social problems of the region wait to be solved.''

''We hope the Russian Feaderation to make cooperation with the international organizations to help the people living under severe winter conditions. Meanwhile, we are uneasy by the fact that the return of the OSCE's aid group for Chechnya to the region is late and we wish a solution can be found to the issue soon,'' said Sezer.

Sezer said that Turkey is concerned by the violations of human rights in Chechnya and its surroundings, adding that independent surveys should start about these violations and dialogue has to be set up with all the sections of the Chechen society.

President Sezer noted that they are sorry by the Kashmir problem that continues between Pakistan and India, adding the problem has to be solved through dialogue and upon the basis of international legitimacy.

Sezer said that the clashes and the fight that continue in Afghanistan for 20 years negatively affect the stability of the region, adding that no military solution to the problem in Afghanistan is possible.

''The problem can only be solved by the establishment of a broad based and representative government by the compromise to be reached among all the sections of the Afghan society,'' he said.

Referring to Cyprus question, Sezer said that the Turkish Cypriot nation is the indivisible part of the Moslem existence in the East Mediterranean.

Reminding the listeners that Cyprus question is on the agenda of the OIC for 20 years, Sezer expressed gratitude for the support and solidarity that the organization extended to the Moslem Turkish nation on Cyprus.

Sezer said, ''we feel sorry that the efforts exerted for the solution of the question did not bear fruit so far. The basic reason for not being able to solve this question is that the Greek Cypriots defend that the 'Republic of Cyprus' which was ended by themselves in 1963, still continues to exist. The Greek Cypriots consider the Turkish Cypriots who have the common sovereign position on the island, as a minority, and do not accede to the solution of the question under the principle of political equality.''

Sezer continued, ''the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots are two equal nations which have different religion, culture and language. These two nations have equal status without any discussions. Neither side can represent the other. The Turkish Cypriot nation wants that an agreement which will enable them to protect their sovereign equality, will be reached. The Turkish Cypriot nation struggles to continue to live in a peaceful and safe atmosphere.''

''This is the basic condition for preventing the recurrence of the tragedies experienced between 1963 and 1974. A lasting solution on Cyprus can be ensured only by taking into consideration the realities on the island. There are two separate states representing two nations on Cyprus today. These two nations can live together and have cooperation in peace. This can become true by a confederation. The confederation proposal is the rationalist and constructive approach for the solution of Cyprus question, '' Sezer added.

Sezer called on the OIC member countries to improve their commercial, touristic, communicative, cultural and sportive relations with the Turkish Cypriot nation.

Terrorism is a source of concern all over the world, Sezer said.

Sezer noted that Turkey supports all the efforts exerted for struggling against terrorism.

Sezer stated that within this framework, the member countries' signing and approving the ''Agreement on Struggle Against International Terrorism Among OIC Member Countries'' which was accepted in the 26th OIC Foreign Ministers Meeting in 1999, carry importance.

Practices to lift the ethnic identity of the Moslem Turkish minority in Western Thrace continue, Sezer said.

Sezer noted that thousands of members of this minority were denaturalized to serve the target of annihilating the ethnic, religious and cultural identity of the Western Thrace Moslem Turkish minority.

The concerned article of the Greek citizenship law was annuled in 1998 and the practices were ended, Sezer stated.

Sezer said that 60 thousand Moslem Western Thrace Turks, who were unfairly deprived of their citizenships, are prevented from becoming citizens again.

''The Western Thrace which is a region where Moslem Turkish minority lives, is a region under control. The Greek authorities continue their measures to keep the connection of this region with other parts of the world at the lowest level,'' Sezer said.

The religious rights of Western Thrace Turkish minority are seriously violated, Sezer emphasized.

Sezer said that the rights of the minority to elect their mufti under international agreements were prevented and that the elected muftis are tried on charges of crimes like seizing the office by force and are sentenced to punishments.

''The Western Thrace Moslem Turkish minority continues to need the interest and solidarity of the OIC due to this maltreatment,'' Sezer said.

Sezer noted that the OIC has recorded important developments since it was founded and that it has made significant contributions to further improvement of solidarity among member countries.

Sezer added, ''but, we cannot be contented with the point we have reached. We have to increase our cooperation. Besides our efforts to promote our solidarity, our organization continues to exert efforts to enable tolerance and mutual understanding to reign in the world. The success of OIC gives us an additional strength to take steps in the path to peace and prosperity.''
