Turkish Dally News Monday. March 31. 1997 Debate in Washington: Accepting 'process of inclusion' ofIslamists into the system tLNuRÇEVÏK Ankara/Boston - Turkish Daily News • Officials in Washington are debating :the pros and cons of "process of inclusion" of Islamists in the political system in the Muslim world and there is a strong feeling that pro-religious groups should beinvolved in thepolitical process. a view strongly opposed hythe American Jewish lobby. The ideas about process of inclusion have been floated among American circles for some time but the debate has been going on inearnest since the pro- Islamic Welfare Party (Refah) emerged as the leading party in the December .1995 elections. The debate started first :among academic circles, but soon found i.tsway into the think tanks and the corridors orthe U.S. administration:. Observers feel the rise of pro-IslanUc feelings in the Middle East and North . Africa has created the urge to look into the question. , . . Leading academicians feel even the. Shah of Iran may have benefited from the ongoing dehate.had he realized .' power was slipping' out of his hands, "He would have been well advised to include the religious groups in the politi~al process and thus opened the way of shanng power with them. He did not do this and today Iran has become an Islamic republic," a leading IBoston academic', who asked not to be named, told the Turkish Daily News. A Harvard professor who also wanted to remain anonymous felt Egypt was making the same mistake~ "At the start President Hosni Mubarak allowed the ~slamists some political flexibility, but when h~ (Mubarak) realized that power ~as slip~ pmg out of hIShands he reversed his posItIon .and today he is at odds with the Islamists. A similar adverse situation exists in Tunisia which we feel is not healthy." Similar views were aired by other academic (:ians who serve in the think tanks which advise the American administration and Congress. . The professor also said Jordan has been much more flexible and has allowed political participation orthe Islamic groups. "What is interesting is that despite his iron grip on Syria even President Hafez Assad has seen .the need to. relax restrictions against the 104
Revue de Presse-Press Review-Berhevoka Çapê-Rivista Stampa-Dentro de la Prensa-Basm Özeti Islamists and this has produced positive results." All the academicians agree however, that the real test is now in Turkey, the only real functioning parliamentary democracy in the Muslim world. They feel the inclusion of the pro-Islamic Refah ln the democratic process has been unique and offers to become a model. They say Refah has already moved to the center after being accepted as a major player in the political scene and this proves the success of the model. Academicians also say their studies show that Islamic movements have nothing to do with religion but they have more to do with social justice. They also agree that there is a sharp change of mood in Turkey that coups are not a solution for the problems of the country and say "the country has left the period of coups behind." The academicians agree that Turkey has deep differences from the Arab world. ''Turks have established political values and traditions. In Turkey everybody knows that their votes count. This is not the case in the Arab world. People are aware that elections are a mere formality and that their vote will not make much difference on who governs the country," a leading foreign relations expert at Boston University told the Turkish Daily News. Observers say the U.S. administration is try~ng to .m~e up ,its mind about the "process of mclUSlOn. While the academicians urge the government to look warmly to the issue, the strong American Jewish lobby is staunchly against it and is trying to influence the administration not to take a positive stand on the issue. The observers say the new U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Martin Indyk for Near Eastern and Asian Affairs and a former ambassador in Israel, feels Islamists should not be ~owed in the political process. They say he IS close to President Bill Clinton and may well be influential. However, there are others like former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Robert Pelletreau who is still influential in Washington who ' feels the Islamists should be given a chance. So experts say the battle lines are being drawn up in the United States as the "process of inclusion" debate heats up. Meanwhile the TON learnt the U.S. administration has ordered an extensive study of American policy on the Muslim world. Turkish Dally News Monday. March 31. 1997 Pauline Green: 'I am raising these issues to improve Turkey's EU chances' We are totally opposed to terrorism and we are absolutely against the activities of rhe PKK, but the Turkish government must do more on the civil rights of the people of the Kurdish areas Turkey has every right to join the EU. The fact that it has already applied and the application was considered shows that Turkey has a right to apply for membership The European Parliament. does have great concerns about four areas in particular, that is democratization, the respect of human rights, the Kurdish problem and the around o~ce eve~ nine ~on~hs. A " week after her VISit- with time for C ypnot questIOn her to reflect her findings, Anthony Pearce interviewed Pauline Green You would not believe the hatemail I receive from Turks and Turkish Cypriots, and so much of it is particularly offensive to me as a woman ANTHONY PEARCE (*) London. Turkish Daily News • Pauline Green, the leader of the Socialists in the European Parliament, was in Turkey recently with three other Members of the European Parliament Socialist Group for an intensive round of talks with leading politicians and ministers. A Surveillance Group was set up by the European Parliament, when it approved the customs union agreement, and as a result Pauline Green has been i!:lT~rkey on official visits for the Turkish Daily News in her North London constituency office. TDN- You travelled to Turkey at a time when the local political atmosphere was highly charged, not the least as a result of the "coup" allegedly staged by the National Security Council. Did you find this affected the discussions you had with ministers and omcia1s? GREEN: It did. Suddenly people were talking about the relationship between the Government and the military. Now I know that the military has a role as the guardian of the secular state and it is for that reason that on every one of my previous visits to Turkey, we have asked to see the military, and permission has always been refused. But on this occasion it was granted and th~ deputy head of the chiefs of staff, General Çevik Bir kept his diary open for us for a whole 24 hours. We had a long discussion with General 105
