  • [01] TRNC PRESIDENT DENKTAS MEETS WITH HOLBROOKE, THE US SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO CYPRUS - DENKTAS: ''WE WON'T COMPROMISE OUR SOVEREIGNTY''

    LEFKOSA, May 4 (A.A) - Rauf Denktas, the President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), met on Sunday with Richard Holbrooke, the US Special Representative to Cyprus, for the fourth time.

    Addressing the journalists after the meeting, Denktas said that Holbrooke and Thomas Miller, the US Special Coordinator to Cyprus, will leave the island on Monday. He stated that it isn't clear when Holbrooke will come to the island again, but they will continue their contacts, and Miller will come to Cyprus to attend a conference at the Greek Cypriot side.

    Responding to a journalist who asked the context of the meeting, Denktas noted that the Cyprus question is a 34 year old problem and it can take a long time to solve it.

    Denktas said, ''if the world keeps on saying 'you are the legal government of Cyprus' to the Greek Cypriots, then they'll continue their wrong and dangerous attitude and won't approach the principles of the April 23 Declaration. They still don't recognize the political equality of the Turkish Cyptiots.''

    Addressing a question on whether or not the issue of sovereignty was discussed, Denktas pointed out, ''sovereignty is our right, therefore we didn't discuss it. We won't compromise our sovereignty.''

    Denktas criticised the Greek Cypriot side for not allowing the Turkish journalists who wanted to attend the meeting between Clerides and Holbrooke, based on the reason that they entered Cyprus from the Turkish Ercan Airport. Holbrooke, who proceeded to the Greek Cypriot side after the meeting, noted that he will discuss this incident with Clerides.

    Holbrooke will join the opening of the 20 line telephone exchange, on Monday. He will leave the island for Germany with Thomas Miller, after completing his contacts on Cyprus the same day.

    [02] STATE MINISTER ANDICAN LEAVES FOR TATARSTAN - ANDICAN: ''TURKEY PLACES GREAT IMPORTANCE ON THE RECONSTRUCTION OF TATARSTAN AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES''

    Addressing the journalists before he left for Tatarstan as the guest of the Tatar President Farid Mehammet Sin, Andican pointed out that his visit aims to develop the commercial, social and cultural relations between the two countries.

    Stressing that for the first time a high level Turkish official is visiting Tatarstan, Andican added, ''Turkey opened her first Consulate General in Tatarstan, among the autonomous republics in Russia. Tatarstan's reconstruction is very significant for Turkey. 15 private sector representatives are coming with me to hold talks on the modernization of some of the enterprises in Tatarstan.

    Andican pointed out that he believes the annual 90 million US dollars trade volume between Turkey and Tatarstan will increase after his visit.

    Andican will return to Turkey on May 7.

    [03] OPENING OF THE TURKISH-JAPANESE CULTURAL CENTER - PRESIDENT DEMIREL: ''I AM SURE THAT TURKISH-JAPANESE RELATIONS WILL FURTHER IMPROVE'' - JAPANESE PRINCE MIKASA: ''RELATIONS BETWEEN TURKEY AND JAPAN HAVE BEEN CONTINUING FOR 108 YEARS''

    ANKARA, May 4 (A.A) - President Suleyman Demirel said on Sunday that he believes that Turkish-Japanese relations will further improve in the future.

    Addressing the opening ceremony of the Turkish-Japanese Cultural Center, President Demirel stated that Turkey and Japan are two large countries which are at the opposite edges of Asia, adding that there aren't any problems between the two countries and the Turkish people admire the Japanese miracle.

    Noting that Japan had developed very rapidly and had become one of the most developed countries in the world, President Demirel pointed out that the economic relations between the two countries have a great potential and Japan has shown her trust in Turkey by sending Japanese enterpreneurs to Turkey for investments.

    ''Turkey is a big market, the Turkish and Japanese enterpreneurs are cooperating and they have opened together to the world markets. We expect to further improve the Turkish-Japanese economic relations,'' said Demirel, adding that the two peoples have to know each other better.

    ''We want cultural cooperation, we know that knowing each other depends on that and in this respect the Turkish-Japanese Cultural Center is important, '' added Demirel.

    Prime Minister Yılmaz said, ''cultural and emotional relations are important factors in diplomatic and economic relations. Solidarity and greater cooperation will be both beneficial for our people and also it will bring peace to our regions.''

    Japanese Prince Tomohito Mikasa said that the relations between the two countries have been continuing for 108 years. The shared works done in the field of archaeology also contribute to the improvement of bilateral relations, he added.

    Turkish-Japanese relations started at the level of states in 1887 with the visit of Japanese Prince Komatsu to Istanbul, while the first diplomatic relations were set up between the two countries in 1925. Economic relations started to develop in the 1960s and Turkish-Japanese business councils were reciprocally established in 1986.

    [04] NEW ATLANTIC INITIATIVE - BRZEZINSKI, FORMER US NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER HOLDS A PRESS BRIEFING

    ISTANBUL, May 4 (A.A) - Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former US National Security Adviser said on Sunday that Turkey has to abide by several standards in order to become a full member of the European Union (EU). In this respect democratization is one of the basic conditions.

    Addressing a press briefing at the end of the ''New Atlantic Initiative'' meetings held in Istanbul, Brzezinski stated that Turkey has been implementing a comprehensive democratization programme since 1920 in spite of ''some deficiences.''

    Responding to a question about Turkish-Greek relations, Brzezinski said that the relations between the two countries can be improved by constructive policies.

    Brzezinski said the important role of the Turkish Army in Turkish political life can't be found strange, but the coups in Latin American countries are different from military interventions seen in Turkey, because the Turkish army doesn't have the aim to overthrow the existing system and establish a military regime instead.

    Responding to another question about American-Iran relations and the future of the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline, Brzezinski said that the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline is very important for diversifying the West's energy sources, adding that the US favours a stable Central Asia.

    [05] TURKISH AND GREEK WOMEN'S DIALOGUE - A PEACE INITIATIVE NAMED ''WINPEACE'' DUE TO BE SET UP

    BODRUM, May 4 (A.A) - Several women's foundations and representatives of the civilian society organizations from both Turkey and Greece have decided to set up a peace initiative named ''Turkey and Greece Women's Initiative for Peace (WINPEACE)'' in the structure of the ''Turkish-Greek Women's Dialogue'' which was held between April 30 and May 3, it was reported on Sunday.

    It was pointed out, ''joint working committees will be set up for the educational, cultural and media services for the development of the women, the works of the Turkish and Greek women writers will be translated into the two languages and published in framework of the WINPEACE).''

    Margaret Papandreu, the ex-wife of Andreas Papandreu, the former Prime Minister of Greece, said that the Turkish-Greek Women's Initiative was begun last year and the women of both countries want to find peaceful solutions for all disagreements.

    Responding to a question concerning the offices of the separatist terrorist PKK organization, Papandreu said that these offices aren't legal, but such offices were opened not only in Greece, but in all of the European countries, stressing that she is opposed to such organizations.

    [07] WORLD FREEDOM OF PRESS DAY - PRIME MINISTER YILMAZ: ''OUR GOVERNMENT BELIEVES THAT THE FREEDOM OF PRESS IS A PUBLIC FREEDOM''

    ANKARA, May 4 (A.A) - Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz said on Sunday, ''Our government which is opposed to the limitation of the Turkish peoples' right to obtain news, believes that the freedom of press is a public freedom.''

    Yilmaz issued a message for the World Freedom of Press Day and pointed out, ''the press is one of the indispensible elements of democracy and the only way for the active participation of the masses in public life. Many radios, televisions, newspapers and magazines which have different publication policies, give information to the public freely. I present my respects to the worthy members of the Turkish Press who work at providing accurate news.''

    [08] THE TURKISH-JAPANESE BUSINESS COUNCIL MEETING - PRIME MINISTER YILMAZ REQUESTS THE JAPANESE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TRUSTING IN TURKEY

    Noting that Turkey is the most convenient country for Japan to cooperate with concerning the Japanese initiatives in the Caucasus and Central Asia, Yılmaz pointed out, ''the joint working visits of the Turkish and Japanese businessmen to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Georgia were very productive. Turkey has a dynamic, strong and stable economy, which is able to solve any problems with which she is confronted.''

    Stressing that Turkey is becoming a center of interest for foreign capital investments, Prime Minister Yılmaz stated, ''the exports of Turkey, which were 2.9 billion US dollars in 1980, have reached to 26 billion US dollars last year. During the same period, our imports increased from 7.9 billion US dollars to 46.7 billion US dollars. Today, the private sector constitutes the dynamic and pushing power of the Turkish economy and we are resolved to lift all the obstacles that stand in front of the development of the private sector in Turkey.''

    [12] HOLBROOKE, THE US SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO CYPRUS: - ''THE GREEK CYPRIOT ADMINISTRATION ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT OF THE TURKISH CYPRIOTS AND CLERIDES KNOWS IT''

    LEFKOSA, May 4 (A.A) - Richard Holbrooke, the US Special Representative to Cyprus, said on Monday that the Greek Cypriot Administration isn't the government of the Turkish Cypriots, adding ''Glafcos Clerides, the Leader of the Greek Cypriots, knows it.''

    Addressing a press conference at the Ledra Palace in buffer zone before he left the island, Holbrooke described the solution of the Cyprus problem as ''very hard'', and noted that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)'s two conditions for starting the negotiations, are not ''realistic''.

    Reminding that the United Nations decided not to recognize the TRNC previously, Holbrooke said that it would be unrealistic for the Greek Cypriot Administration to withdraw the full membership application to the European Union. He added that if the TRNC insists on these two conditions, then nothing can be done for the solution of the problem. Holbrooke stressed that he holds no one responsible for not receiving a positive result from the meetings.

    Holbrooke pointed out that he couldn't make progress on the issue of the S- 300 missiles which will be deployed at the Greek Cypriot side.

    [13] SUSURLUK CASE - AGAR, THE FORMER MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR AT THE STATE SECURITY COURT

    ISTANBUL, May 4 (A.A) - The State Security Court in Istanbul decided on Monday to refer the file concerning Mehmet Agar, deputy of the True Path Party (DYP) and former Minister of the Interior, who lost his parliamentary immunity, to the Constitutional Court.

    Responding to the questions of journalists after the decision of the court, Mehmet Agar said that ''our trust in justice is eternal.''

    Noting that his case will be heard before the Constitutional Court from now on, Agar stressed that ''there is justice, law and judiciary organs in Turkey and our belief in the Turkish state continues.''

    The State Security Court referred the case of Mehmet Agar to the Constitutional Court under a rule that prevents lesser judicial bodies from trying former ministers alleged to have committed crimes during their time in office.

    Agar, also a former police chief, resigned as Minister of the Interior in 1996 and later lost his parliamentary immunity along with Sedat Bucak amid public pressure to clear up a security scandal, namely Susurluk.

    Meanwhile, the same court decided to refer the file of Sedat Bucak, a DYP deputy whose name was also mentioned in the Susurluk scandal, to the main Susurluk case, because there is legal and actual connection between the two cases.

    [15] THE TURKISH-JAPANESE BUSINESS COUNCIL MEETING ... - TARA, THE TURKISH- JAPANESE BUSINESS COUNCIL CHAIRMAN: ''THE TRADE VOLUME BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES DEVELOPS AGAINST TURKEY''

    ANKARA, May 4 (A.A) - Sarık Tara, the Chairman of the Turkish-Japanese Business Council said on Monday that the trade volume with Japan is increasing against Turkey and this should be corrected.

    Sarık Tara stressed that the number of Japanese tourists who visit Turkey should increase, adding that the Japanese investments in Turkey are only 800 million US dollars and this amount is very low.

    Tara also asked Japanese investors to invest in the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP), noting that Turkish and Japanese businessmen can carry out joint investments in the Central Asian Turkish Republics.

    Kazuhira Seki, the Chairman of Japanese-Turkish Economic Committee said, ''Japan is interested in countries having a shore with the Caspian Sea, because they have energy and natural resources. Turkey and Japan can carry out joint investments in these countries.''

    ''Investments of the Turkish businessmen in Japan can be another idea, just like investments of the Japanese investors in Turkey,'' Seki added.

    Shoichiro Toyoda, the Chairman of KEIDANREN, a Japanese business institution responsible for foreign affairs said ''the economic developments seen in Turkey in the last years are really excellent and I really appreciate them, particularly in Istanbul and Ankara.''

    IZMIR, May 4 (A.A) - Yusuf Bolayirli, the General Director of the Turkish Airlines (THY), said on Monday that their passenger capacity was increasing by ten percent annually.

    Bolayirli told the A.A correspondent that they realized important changes in the THY fleet through the end of the previous year and that they would include 51 more airplanes in the fleet in 1999 or in 2000 at the latest.

    Pointing out that they would start flights to Beijing and Shanghai in the Far East and to three spots in the US by including those planes in the THY fleet, Bolayirli said, ''we joined the Quality Group in March 1998. With this integration, we came to a such level that we can reach 294 spots in addition to our existing 66 routes.''

    Bolayirli said that the Group had 401 airplanes and a capacity for 47.5 million passengers.

    ''Our goal for being a member in this Group is to secure our flights by increasing the level of quality. A total of 10.3 million passengers flew with the THY last year on the foreign and domestic lines. Our target for this year is to carry 11 million passengers. Our passenger capacity is increaseng by ten percent every year,'' Bolayirli said.

    Bolayirli said that the endorsement was 1.3 billion US dollars last year and that their aim was to increase it to 1.5 billion US dollars this year.
