He added, however. that' Turkey had the power to overcome ihis problem. and called on the public "not 'to get gripped with the fear of terrorism." "No one should even considerthe idea of sitting down to negotiate with bandits" he said. signalling that there is no way that a dialogue of any sorts will be initiated with the outlawed Kurdistan Worker's party (PKK). ' Demirel also signalled that there would be no "privileges" granted to the Kurds of Turkey, especially under the current conditions of terrorism. "If the impression is given that some circles are receiving certain privileges under pressure, then ,we will have great difficulties in keeping the peace in the country and maintaining public order," Demirel said. . , He nevertheless tried to emphasize that no one shouldtbink that this problein can not be solved. within democracy. Reading out a prerared text prior to answering questions, Demire said that for the 10 years of separatist terrorism 2270 security officersand 3144 citizens had been listed as killed as of 20 October 1993. "The state is under attack and as any state that. is under attack it is its duty to counter this. make it ineffective and restore peace and stability" Demirel said. He said that the fact that 4517 terrorists had been killed and (barring the ones that had been killed in cross border operations) and that 2811 of them had been placed under arrest testified that the state was dOing its duty. . Demirel emphasized that the state remain,ed wilhin the bounds of its laws in doing so and expended the utmost care not to hurt its citizens. , "The state remains on its job with all its institutions. Now the responsibility of the Turkish citizen is nol to panic. to retain acoldblooded stance in the face of what is happening ... and to continue supporting the forces of the state" Demirel said. Demirel said it should not even be considered that the Turkish Republic is incapable of overcoming this problem. "The aim of those who are instigating and carry,ing out this bloody terror. The minute you ask how many ways are there to overcome this' then the state will be enfeebled" Demirel said. President Demirel said there was only one way to overcQme this problem and that is 'to incapacita- , te this gang of killers that are trying to lift the sovereignty of the state." "No solution which willlead to the splitting up of the nation shtlUld be considered a solution. That would be surrender" Demirel said. Demirel said that they would also not al- Iowa certain group of people to use democracy as a shield in order to divide the country. "Democracy is not in the service of dividing the country. To the contrary it is the solution to unifying the country," Demirel ad- , ded. ' Demirel called on the public, parliament, the press and all other organizations to continue tohelp the state in order for its struggle against terrorism to take on the appearance of an ail out struggle. Demirel answered questions put to him after ending his prepared address. Reminded that shortly after coming to power as Prime Minister in 1991 he had told reporter.s while visiti.ng Diy.arb,alm that he "recogmzed the KurdIsh realIty,' and asked what he understood from this statement, Demirel said "there are people who are of Kilr- . dish origin in Turkey." , "In Turkey there are people who say 'I am a Kurd.' As opposed to thIS there is no grounds for saying 'No you are not a Kurd;"~ Demirel said. ' He added thàt the important thing is for the Kurd to know that he is a citizen of this republic and that he has equal rights with' , those who say they are not Kurds. , "To those who say 'I am a Kurd' we say of course you are a Kurd. This is what I am saying. If I wanted to say any more than this I would have done so. Since that day (in DiyarbaIar) this is all I said (about the Kurdish reality). I did not say anything else. No one will get a cominent from me which willlead to the division of Turkey. Not a word" Demirel said. Asked what he meant when he . said that Brigadier General Bahtiyar Aydm, who was shot dead in the township of Lice in the Southeast recently, had been killed by an accidental bullet Demirel said his statement was based on information he had received from the military. ' "After the incident I went to the Chief of Staffs office. What was said to me in connection with the incident was that this was not a bullet that had been shot as a result of ~om~one having taken an aim. This bull;t is defined as a stray or an accidental bullet. Indicating that this incident was a matter of coincidence Demirel said it was clearly riot plànned. "There is 'no way for anyone to have known the General was going to be t~ereor climbing the stairs that he was clIinbing when he was shot" Demirel said. The military had said that General Aydm, who was the commander of the Gendarmerie forces in DiyarbakIr had been assassinated, during clashes between security forces and PKK militants in Lice. Demirel's statement to the effect that Aydm had died as a result of an accidental bullet had led to confusion and speculation in the media as to the real cause of the general's death. Demirel was then asked if the presence of the socalIed multinational "Hammer Force" in Southeast Turkey had enabled PKK militants to use Northern Iraq for striking Turkey. Hammer force is the name by which "Operation Provide Comfort" is known in Turkey, This operation is a leftover from the time of the Gulf War and was first set up to protect northern Iraqi Kurds against Iraqi forces. Demirel.denied such speèulation and poin- . ted out that it was Turkey which had first asked for the allies to come to Turkey and embark on this operation. . "In northern Iraq there are 2.5-3 million Kurds, Turcomans, and people of Arab origin. These people have relatIOnship ties with the people on our side
