Washington critique. avec<br />

l'interdiction d'un parti<br />

modération<br />

kur<strong>de</strong> turc<br />

WASHI NOTON, 13 mars (AFP) - Oh53 - Les Etats-Unis ont très modérément critiqué, pour le "principe", l'interdiction jeudi du principal parti<br />

kur<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> Turquie, le Ha<strong>de</strong>p, par la Cour constitutionnelle turque. .<br />

"Par principe, les Etats-Unis considèrent que la ferm<strong>et</strong>ure d'un parti loyal envers les principes <strong>et</strong> les pratiques démocratiques est contraire aux<br />

normes internationales en matière <strong>de</strong> démocratie", a déclaré une porte-parole du département d'Etat, Brenda Greenberg, sans mentionner<br />

directement ce parti. '<br />

"Nous ne sommes pas en mesure <strong>de</strong> faire une évaluation <strong>de</strong>s motivations légales <strong>de</strong> c<strong>et</strong>te affaire", a-t-elle affirmé, en ajoutant que Washington<br />

"ne soutient ni ne s'oppose à aucun parti turc" <strong>et</strong> "n'intervient pas dans les processus intérieurs, politiques ou judiciaires", <strong>de</strong> ce pays.<br />

" L'interdiction par la Cour constitutionnelle, au terme d'une longue procédure judiciaire, du Parti <strong>de</strong> la Démocratie du peuple (Ha<strong>de</strong>p)<br />

intervient à un moment où les tensions s'accroissent dans le sud-est anatolien en raison <strong>de</strong>s rumeurs <strong>de</strong> guerre contre l'Irak voisin.<br />

Elle risque par ailleurs d'être mal accueillie par les autorités européennes qui reprochent à Ankara <strong>de</strong>s manquements à la démocratie alors que<br />

le pays est candidat à l'Union européenne (UE).<br />

Les Etats-Unis tentent actuellement d'obtenir <strong>de</strong> la Turquie l'autorisation <strong>de</strong> déployer quelque 60.000 hommes pour ouvrir un front nord<br />

contre l'Irak dans la perspective d'un conflit avec Bagdad .<br />

. Le parlement a rej<strong>et</strong>é une première motion sur ce suj<strong>et</strong>, le 1er mars <strong>de</strong>rnier, mais pourrait être amené à revoir sa position. Washington est prêt<br />

à apporter une ai<strong>de</strong> économique spéciale <strong>de</strong> 6 milliards <strong>de</strong> dollars à Ankara si ce déploiement est accepté.<br />

Iraqi Turkmen lea<strong>de</strong>r warns Kurds<br />

Arbil, Iraq - An <strong>et</strong>hnic Turkmen lea<strong>de</strong>r in northern Iraq has warned the main Kurdish faction here that its drive<br />

towards fe<strong>de</strong>ralism could ignite a civil war, and threatened to call in Turkish military support if the Kurds seek<br />

to grab key cities in the event of a US-led invasion.<br />

The presi<strong>de</strong>nt of the Iraqi Turkmen Front, Sanan Ahm<strong>et</strong> Aga, alsoaccused the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP)<br />

of conducting a campaign of political intimidation against his minority, saying Ankara must be quick to protect<br />

follow Turks when war breaks out. "If there is any attack on Iraq, it is natural for Turkish soldiers to be here," he<br />

said, before adding: "The Kurds should be very careful not to provoke US in a way that leads US to call in the help<br />

of other countries."<br />

Ethnic Turkmen groups here have often been accused by the KDP of being a fifth column for their powerful northern<br />

neighbour.<br />
