    [33] FROM THE COLUMNS... FROM THE COLUMNS... FROM THE COLUMNS...

    [34] WILL THERE BE A CONSENSUS? BY SABAHATTIN ONKIBAR (TURKIYE)

    Columnist Sabahattin Onkibar writes the following in his article today:

    "It seems unlikely that a consensus will be reached on Prof. Mehmet Haberal, Ismail Cem, Sabahattin Cakmakoglu and Prof. Kamil Turan concerning the presidential election. If Ecevit or Bahceli accepts the proposal of one another, then the one who accepted the proposal will be placed in a difficult situation with his party and in the public eye. If we are to analyse these candidates one by one, it would be as follows: Prof. Haberal is the symbol of ambition, convinction and success, as well as a medical authority in terms of organ transport in Turkey. In addition, I do not agree with those who claim that he does not know enough with regards to economy and foreign policy. I think his chance in the presidential election are very high due to the fact that he is from the central right-wing party, which will assure him votes not only from Democratic Left Party (DSP), but also from the True Path Party (DYP) and from the Nationalist Action Party (MHP).

    As for Ismail Cem, I can say that his quality as a candidate and his personal charisma cannot be disputed. He is very much esteemed not only in Turkey, but also abroad. However, it is not very easy for Cem, who is a theoretician of leftist policy, to be accepted by an Assembly with a right-wing majority. As for Sabahattin Cakmakoglu, who was the apple of the eye of deceased President Turgut Ozal and MHP's deceased leader Turkes, I claim that he is one of the few men who can be a perfect President. There is no need to list his positive characteristics, and his only handicap would be the low possibility of receiving a vote from the DSP. If Yilmaz does not become a candidate, Cakmakoglu is likely to receive the vote of the Motherland (ANAP) Party. As for Prof. Turan, I can say that we do not know much about him, in contrast to the other candidates. According to the things we have heard, he is close to Mr. Bahceli and has very positive characteristics. Those whom I mentioned above are not the official candidates, but there are those who have become candidates officially and their number is increasing rapidly. However, ANAP leader Yilmaz is not a candidate yet and if he becomes a candidate, then all the balance in the Turkish Grand National Assemly (TGNA) will be turned upside-down. Today, the issue of his candidacy will be settled and it will become clear whether or not a consensus can be reached on the presidential election.So the one word is continuing".
