propres propos" et en rejeter la responsabilité sur la presse en déclarant
"qu'il ne fallait pas croire ce qu'écrit la presse".
"Nous disons depuis longtemps une chose: il ne faut pas croire ce que
la presse écrit", a en effet déclaré M. Erbakan en recevant mercredi soir
M. Kinkel.
Selon Yeni Yuzyil (libéral), l'entretien de M. Kinkel avec son
homologue Tansu Ciller a été "difficile" et cette atmosphère a "pesé"
sur la conférence de presse conjointe qui a été transformée en "guerre
des nerfs" et où ils ont "fait des déclarations par allusion".
En effet, Mme Ciller a riposté contre M. Kinkel en déclarant "qu'elle
aussi tenait la tête haute lorsqu'elle se rendait en Europe", en réaction
aux propos de son homologue allemand.
Autre signe de la tension lors de cette visite: ni Mme Ciller ni M.
Erbakan n'ont participé à la réception offerte mercredi soir par
l'ambassadeur d'Allemagne à Ankara à l'occasion de la visite de M.
Kinkel.
