Ice: Leftist opposition parties embrace MGK roster<br />
on secularism, tell Islamist lea<strong>de</strong>r 'take it or leave it'<br />
Ankara- TDN Parllament<br />
Bureau<br />
• Islamist Prime Minister<br />
Necm<strong>et</strong>tin Erbakan who was han<strong>de</strong>d<br />
an ultimatum by the powerful<br />
National Security Council MGK)<br />
to toe the line on secularism, on<br />
Monday refuted the military's<br />
right to impose legislation, saying<br />
that right belongs to the government.<br />
But the leftist opposition lea<strong>de</strong>rs<br />
Erbakan visited in a publicized bid<br />
to <strong>de</strong>fuse the heightened tensions,<br />
refused to provi<strong>de</strong> the sought support,<br />
calling him to resign if he<br />
still had qualms about secularism.<br />
In his confrontation with the<br />
military, the lea<strong>de</strong>r of the Welfare<br />
Party (RP) will apparently has also<br />
to guard his rear. For as Erbakan<br />
sought a way out of the terms the<br />
MGK wants him to sign, Defense<br />
Minister Turhan Taran, a senior<br />
politician of the jumor coalition<br />
partner True Path Party (DYP),<br />
pOinledly told a <strong>de</strong>legation of visltmg<br />
teachers that Turkey owed its<br />
progress to secularism and other<br />
(West-oriented) reforms introduced<br />
by Kemal Atatürk, the<br />
found~r of the Turkish Republic.<br />
.. Erbakan' s me<strong>et</strong>ings with oppo-<br />
SItion lea<strong>de</strong>rs, to be continued on<br />
Tuesday, was seen as an attempt to<br />
soften the controversies over hiS<br />
Islamist-led ~overnment's practices<br />
which culminated in a stem<br />
warming from the military.<br />
In a marathon nine-hour me<strong>et</strong>ing<br />
which lasted into early<br />
Saturday, the military-dominated<br />
MGK warned the Islamist lea<strong>de</strong>r<br />
about what it saw as a dangerous<br />
stray from the course s<strong>et</strong> by<br />
Atatürk.<br />
After an unaccustomedly-sharp<br />
communique, the top military<br />
brass requested Erbakan to sign a<br />
2Ü-point list of commitments.<br />
mostly concerning meases to protect the state's<br />
secular system.<br />
What came as seemiriymost unpalatable for<br />
the Islamist lea<strong>de</strong>r was krequired agreement to<br />
the limitation of the nUŒrsof mushrooming<br />
clerical schools, the legiation of a substitute<br />
law for an abrogated oneanning the establishment<br />
of religion-based plies or associations, the<br />
banning of recently-prole Muslim sects and<br />
or<strong>de</strong>rs, limitation of finltial support to the RP<br />
from Islamist associatiOiabroad, and a close<br />
scrutiny of the burgeon~lslamist business<br />
empires rapidly becomiqa solid prop for<br />
Erbakan' s party.<br />
Erbakan, who vainly td to persua<strong>de</strong> the military<br />
in the MGK meeun" dilute the list of "recommendations<br />
to the gomment", refused to<br />
sign the terms he Was pnmted with.<br />
The Turkish governnws traditionally endorse<br />
the <strong>de</strong>cisions taken by thMGK, a <strong>liaison</strong> platform<br />
for top state, goveœent and military officials.<br />
The MGK resolutionsdimaxed the recently<br />
escalating military angerwera series of remarks<br />
from Islamist politiciana.t mayors that challenged<br />
the country's dceprootedsecularist traditions.<br />
