REVUE DE PRESSE-PRÊSS REVIEW-BERHEVOKA ÇAPÊ-RMSTA STAMPA-DENTRO DE LA PRENSA-BASIN ÖZETi ''Even without this oath, is it not a duty for everyone who is eating the bread, drinking the water and breathing the air of this country (to protect it)? I am calling on everyone to do their duty," Demirel said. In the interview, Demirel focused chiefly on Western attempts to impose a political solution, and saId that as they did WIththe Sevres, the Western states now seemed to want "east of the river Euphrates" for a Kurdish homeland. He pointed at the unrestricted activities of the ERNK (the PKK's pliticalwing) across Europe, the Netherlands' permission for a Kurdish "parliament-m-exile", the British-su~ plied license and the French-provided channel for a Kurdish TV as the evidencé of the European sUPlX?rto the PKK. These, Demirel said, were tireaches of Western commitments as the members of the Euro~ Union, as members of NATO and other democratic Institutions, "to support those fightingwith terrorism and not the terrorists themselves." "There is no need for us to feel ~ilty. On the matter of terrorism we are totally right," he saId. Demirel said Turkey and Europe needed each other, but it should not be forgotten that "reserving a seat for Turkey among European nations cannot be tied to conditions that create insurmountable problems Turkey has to cope with." He warned that, "the Turkish people had a developed common sense and while normally soft-spoken and easygoing, theJ could become very tough if certain limits were exceeded. Demirel asked for understanding from Turkey's European friends about the difficulties it has encountered in its democratic experience, and said Turkey still had some distance to cover to perfect its democracy. For that, he said the "nation's pulse should be taken" whenever there is a need for imJX>rtantdecisions. Secondly, he called for the direct popular election of presidents. He said presidents should also be able"to schedule new elections - by dissolving the parliament. The state should be subjected to thorough-going reform and there should be more frequent recourse to the institution of referendum, Demirel said. Imprisoned Kurd lashes out at his British jailers Turldsh Daily N~s ANKARA- Kani YIlmaz, a spokesman for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in detention and standing trial in London, has accused Britain of imprisoning him to gain favor with Tuitey. . "The decision of the Home Office ... suppo~ the powers in Turkey' who are ~etermmed to turn our country mto a livmg hell on earth," Yùmaz said in a statement released by the Brussels-based Kurdistan Committee on Saturday. ''The treatment that I have been subjected to can only be construed as a move ~ainst"the. Kurdish people's stf!Iggle for liberty, SaId YIlmai, who, onhiS way to meet British parliamentarians, was detained last October and charged with illegal entry. yIlmaz, who is also bein~ sought by Germany, dismissed Bonn s move to have hini extradited as an attempt to placate Turkey and said there was no evidence l.i.nkfughim to the alleged actions of ~onspiracy to commit arson of which he ISaccused. Yllmaz, who has refugee status in Germany, had entered Britain four times ~viously. Deportation proceedings were" halted when Germany requested his extradition. Although the PKK is banned in Germany, It is not banned in Britain. US delegation to visit Ankara 'Turkey and Arme~ia are two neighbors who will have to live in the same region. We hope that they will open their borders to each other and normalize relations.' Turkish Daily N~s ANKARA- A hi~h-Ievel delegation from the United States will arrive in Turkey at the end of the month to take up a number of issues including the future of an allied force stationed in Turkey, according to a rep()rt on Sunday by the Anatoha news agency from Washington. The agency reported that the delegation would be headed by Mark Parris, Near East Adviser to the National Security Council. Members of the State Department will also be in the delegation. The visit taICes placefollowing a suggestion by Prime Minister, Tansu Çil1er, to US President, Bill Clinton, that the shape of Operation Poised Hammer - the popular name for an allied coalition force based In Turkey to maintain the no-fly zone over northern Iraq - must be changed. Although Washington has said they would assess any proposaI from Turkey, diplomatic sources say Ankara has ma4e no concrete proposal yet. The extension of the mandate of the foree - reviewed every six months" - has to be approved by the Turkish Parliament at the end of June. Extending the mandate poses a problem each time because many Turks believe that the foree is instrumental in de facto partitioning of Iraq and establishing a Kurdish region in the north. Moreover, the stationing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) mNorthern Iraq also makes Turks distrust the foree. In a related development, an unnamed US source, quoted by Anatolia, said that Washington hoped Turkey would also allow the use of its terrilOry for transfer of aid to Armenia. Reversing a two-year blockade, Ankara has just opened its airspace to planes to and from Armema, making it pos~ible for aid via air to this country, which is Involved in conflict with Azerbaijan over the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. . "Turkey and Armenia are two neighbors, who will have to live in the same region. We hope that they will open their borders to each other and normze relations," the source said. 81

This is not something that can happen in a day. Turkey can go for, new elections and find a Parliament that functions. But do not think this is a matter for just one day. TON Ali Fu •• Ulay In the second part othis interview withthe Turkish Daily News, President Demirel continued to touch on Turkey' s Kurdish problem and expressed doubt about the argument that granting cultural rights would reduce separatiStKurdish terrorism. ' , ' While apparently closing the door to any reformist changes concerning the Kurdish issue, Demirelnevertheless conceded that there were socialproblems, such as the pli~ht of displaced persons In southeast Anatolia, which needed urgent attention, Demirel said he was aware of this and indicated that h~ has initiated moves to try and alleviate the suffenngof persons affected by the fight against terrorism in the region. Demirel went on to indicate that the manner in which the "freedom of expression" deb~te was unfolding in Turkey today ~howeQ,thatanimpasse had been reached on. this Issue. He expressed his hope that this issue would in the end be resolved within the framework of Turkey's democratic system and said in this con-' text that the common people of the country would b~ the best referee jn this respect in the final analy- SIS. While pointing in the direction of il referendum' on this issue, Demirel also expressed his serious doubt that the Tùrkish public would, as matters :stood today, endorse a notion of freedom of expression which allowed anyone to engage in the -dissemination of separat~stideas. _ .
