REVUE DE PRESSE-PRESS REVlEW-BERHEVOKA ÇAPÊ-RMSTA STAMPA-DENTRO DE LA PRENSA-BASIN ÖZET; Prince Charles condemns Iraq, calls for understanding of Islam Reuters OXFORD, England- Prince Charles accused Iraq on Wednesday of repressing southern Marsh Arabs but called for Western understanding of the Islamic world as a whole. In a rare and outspoken foray into foreign policy issues, the British royal heir expressed outrage at Iraq's reported crack~ down on its own people and called for international action to avert a "total cataclysm" in their southern marsh environment. Iraqi opposition groups accuse the forces of President Saddam Hussein of launching ~everal offensives against the Marsh Arabs since they provided refuge to minority Shiite rebels after ilie GulfWar. The prince's appeal came in a wide-ranging speech in which he paid tribute to the historical importance of Islam and warned Westerners against equating it with extremist fundamentalism. "I confess that for a whole year I have wanted to find a suitable opportunity to express my despair and outrage at the unmentionable horrors being perpetrated in southern Iraq," he declared. Speaking in the university town of Oxford, he said the draining of the marshes was deliberate repression of tlie southern people, dismissing Hussein's claim that the operation was agricultural. "How many more obscene lies do we have to be told before action is taken?" he asked. "Even at the Il th hour it is still not too late to prevent a total cataclysm. I pray that this might at least be a cause in which Islam and the West could. join forces for the sake of common humanity," he said. He did not elaborate on the form of action he was seeking. The Iraqi government has denied reports that its forces have launched attacks on the area. The prince, 44, pays an official visit to the Arab world ID IO days' time, touring states that joined the U.S.-led GulfWar alliance against Iraq over its invasion of Kuwait. It is rare for a top-ranking royal to broach foreign policy in public as the British monarchy traditionally stays out of politics. The internatIOnal community lias come under criticism for not setting up safe havens for southern Iraqis like the protective zones established for the northern Kurds, a target of Iraq's army. Prince Charles also called for greater tolerance and understanding world to contain between the West and the Arab a threat of increasing civil contlict like the three-way battle in former -Yugoslavia between Serbs, Croats and Muslims. Speaking as patron of the university's Islamic Studies Center, he said: "We must not slide into a new era of danger and division because gOvernments and peoples, communities and reli~ions cannot live .together in a shrinking world. 'Our understanding of Islam extremes has been grossly distorted by taking to be the norm," he added, accusing the media of promoting "unthinking prejudice" in reporting the Muslim world. ..

Demirel also emphasized the state's detemùnation to renew itself in all fields, including national defense. 134
REVUE DE PRESSE-PRESS REVIEW-BERHÈ:vOKA ÇAPÊ-RwISTA STAMPA-DENTRO DE lA PRENSA-BASIN ÖZETÎ IN'rE ... RNATION..ALHERÀLD TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1993 . . . Here's a Better Road for Turkey to Travel ASHINGTON - She is intelligent, ~nable and By William Safire W articulate. Turkey s new prime Minister, Tansu Ciller, lin economist trained in the United States, wowed 'em on television and in private meetings here on her recent visit to America. Unfortunately, the central message that she and her advisers brought to the White House was unworthy of the proud Turkish people. It is this: The cutoff of the oil Prime Minister Tansu CiUer UlGlIt8 to do bwinea with Saddam. pipeline tolraq, part of the.WOrld'S sanctions on Sadda1n HU$$Cin,is costing Turkey billions. Mrs. Ciller wants the United States, as the chief Desert Stormer, to arrange to recompense Turkey for this cost. Otherwise - and here's the zinger that shows how little this Turkish government understands alliances - Turkey might not extend its agreement to permit its airfidds and supply routes to be used to proteet and feed Iraqi Kurds in Operation Provide Comfort. Although not presented as a Quid pro quo, the point was blunt: Pay us the money, and we let you keep on preventing Saddam Hus- S!2n from slaughtering the Kurds beginning to build an autonomous democracy on the dictator's land . .That goes beyond realpolitik to ieaI blackmail. But an ally whose C()Operationis for sale is available for alliance to a higher bidder, andother nations bow that. Relationships thai rely on immediate mutual back-scratching never become "special." In her hard sell, the prime minister went further. Saddam, she told one and all, is growing more popular in Iraq day by day. The sanctions are not workin~ She wants to do business with him, and never mind the regional threat. President Bill Cliaton and his advisers did not express irritation at being presented with a big bill for continued parking in Turkish airports. That is because Turkey is the secular Muslim nation that stands in contrast to Iran's fanatic fundamentalism, and those two models are battling for the future of the Turkic-speaking nations along Russia's southern rim. The West need.sTurkey fC1ta related reason: The Russian reformers are in d$ of creating a Yeltsin-Grachev,,regime. The Russian president, Ûl debt for his p0- litical existence to the chief of the armed forces, is letting the former Red Army reach into the former Soviet empire to re:establish Moscow's control, ostensibly to enforce c.rder or to proteet Russian "near-abroads." . Turkey's stability w()uld be vital if Containment II comes to pass. But an alliance is a two-way street; Turkey's leaders are as worried as Washington is about a resurgence of Moscow imperialism. Underlying Mrs. Ciller's programmed pleas for appeasement of Saddam is her own military's decision to escalate the crackdown on the PKK - terrorist Kurds in Turkey who demand instant independence. One Turk in six is a Kurd; the great majority want to live as citilenS of Turkey, free to express their Kurdish cultural héritage and speak their own language. But the shortsightèd army leaders, by overreactina to the terrorists, by suppressing the Kurdish identity of all Turkish Kurds, by raiding Kurdish villages in Iraq while restraining hot pursuit of the PKK in Syria, Iran or Armenia - are making the classic mistake of driving moderates into the radical camp. The democratically elected Prime Minister Ciller, mindful of past army takeovers, told me deter- Accrochage à la frontière turco-iranienne : 67 morts Soixante sept pe,.~.. - cinquante-sept rebelles klJl'des et dix soldets turcs - ont ltItuées, merdi soir, dens un eccrochege il le frontl.re turco-Irenienne, quend un groupe .de .éperetl.tes eattequé un poste de le gendermerie. l'eccrochege qui e écleté per le auite e feit 17 mort. dena les renga dea rebelle. qui ont perdu querente eutre.dea leur. dena une che .. e-pouraulte de l'ermée turque, ..

TURQUIE La rébellion kurde aurait fait 10'000 morts en neuf ans le président de la République turque, Suleyman Demirel, a affirmé, mercredi 27 octobre, que, de 1984 il octobre 1993, près de 10 000 personnes minedly: "There will be no more coups in Turkey." Let's hope not; but as Kurds and their supporters see it, Ankara's military has already taken control of this government's Kurdish policy. Mrs. Cillers recent predecessors were harder for the army leaders to push around. Strange, how this ancient, homeless Kurdish people - 20 million in a half-dolen countries - is again at the nexus of geostrategy. The Turks worry that if the Iraqi Kurds build a democratic state, Turkish Kurds may want the same, so Turkey sends the United States an intolerable bill for helping stve Iraqi Kurds from genocide. Wrong. If Mrs. Ciller reverses course and helps Iraqi Kurds achieve prosperous autonomy - and by so doing encourages their ethnic brethren to be loyal Kurdish Turks - the first female Turkish prime minister will be remembered not as a clumsy ally-for-sale but as a new Ataturk.
