Erbakan: Hit PKK and fundamentalists<br />

but show Kurds and believers compassion<br />

The prime minister says parties<br />

not represented in Parliament,<br />

excepting his own Welfare Party,<br />

had been upholding <strong>de</strong>mocracy<br />

but those in the Parliament had<br />

failed the <strong>de</strong>mocracy test<br />

Ankara-<br />

TDN Parliament Bureau<br />

• Prime Minister Necm<strong>et</strong>tiri Erbakan said<br />

'the political <strong>de</strong>velopments of the past<br />

weeks had been nest for <strong>de</strong>mocracy and<br />

that Ûleop'position parties in Parliament<br />

had all fa<strong>de</strong>d the examination.<br />

: Erbakan pointed out that Ûleaffection<br />

shown toward the Kurdish population,<br />

while at the same time fighting separatist<br />

terrorism, should be exten<strong>de</strong>d to <strong>de</strong>vout<br />

believers, while combating "reactionary"<br />

movements. . ,.<br />

In his speech at a WeifareParty (RP)<br />

parliamentary group me<strong>et</strong>ing, Erbakan<br />

said his party wanted peace, hannony and<br />

reconciliation to prevail in the country,<br />

and pointed out they were aware the greatest<br />

responsibility in this respect lay with<br />

the !!overnrncnt.<br />

"Secularism is to act in the light of science<br />

and rationality, whereas being reactionary<br />

is being dogmatic and ignorant. In<br />

our country there are also secularist reactionaries.<br />

Tpey will not allow anyone to talk and<br />

PM Erbakan wants 'kid gloves' against Kurds and<br />

the <strong>de</strong>vout. .<br />

they impose Ûleir will, Erbakan said. "We<br />

call Ûlese people fascist secularists but<br />

they are in fact anti-secularists. Secularism<br />

<strong>de</strong>mands acting in the light of science and<br />

rationality and that laws be ma<strong>de</strong> in<br />

Parliament." He said the country had gone<br />

through political turmoil in the past weeks<br />

but pointed out that this turmoil had heen<br />

useful to see who were truly <strong>de</strong>mocratic<br />

and who were not.<br />

Erbakan said the parties not represented<br />

in Parliament had been<br />

upholding <strong>de</strong>mocracy but those in<br />

Parliament had failed the <strong>de</strong>mocracy<br />

test and remarked: "T~rkey wil,l,<br />

<strong>de</strong>finitely corne out of thiS frenzy, .<br />

Erbakal{ said there were also leftist<br />

reactionaries in the country and<br />

n:lIlarked that those who wanted to<br />

bring Stalinist rule should also be<br />

consi<strong>de</strong>red reactionaries. He said .<br />

reactionary movements had to be<br />

combatted because those people<br />

forced their will on soci<strong>et</strong>y and did<br />

not know religion. "But we must .<br />

show the.utmost respect to <strong>de</strong>vout<br />

believers," the prime minister said.<br />

Erbakan said the stu<strong>de</strong>nts who<br />

raised red nags dunng protests at<br />

universities wanted to stir trouble<br />

and Ûley were preparing to abuse.<br />

Newroz, the KurdIsh spring festival.<br />

He ad<strong>de</strong>d that <strong>de</strong>vout and<br />

moral youth should be brought up<br />

against corrununism and that the<br />

importance of spirituality should<br />

not be disregar<strong>de</strong>d. .<br />
