BRIEFING
Turkey Announces Action Plan on Cyprus: On Wednesday,
Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul announced a Turkish Action
Plan for Cyprus, which was submitted to UN Secretary General
Kofi Annan on January 20, Turkish papers report. The
Turkish plan says that Greek Cypriot vessels will be given
access to Turkish ports and airports within the framework of
EU customs unions, and suggests that direct international
flights will be allowed to and from the Ercan airport in
Girne (Kyrenia) in the north. It asks for removal of trade
restrictions by both sides, and of international sanctions
against the Turkish side. The plan calls for special
arrangements for inclusion of Turkish Cyprus, as an economic
entity, into the EU customs union. FM Gul offered to hold a
meeting in May or June for Turkey, Greece, and both Cypriot
sides in Cyprus under the auspices of UN Secretary General
Annan. The plan aims at introducing a perspective for a
lasting settlement in Cyprus, and to pave the way for
cooperation and mutual trust in Cyprus, Gul said. 'The UN
Secretary-General is kindly invited to consider the plan and
SIPDIS
take the lead, and we call on the international community to
examine and support this proposal,' he added. Gul also
stressed he was confident the plan presented an opportunity
to help stabilize the eastern Mediterranean region, provide
ANKARA 00000297 002 OF 005
economic benefits for all, and integrate the Turkish
Cypriots with the rest of the world, 'which has been a goal
of the international community, including the EU, since mid-
2004.' Meanwhile, visiting British Foreign Secretary Jack
Straw will be received by PM Erdogan and later hold a joint
press conference with Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul in
Ankara on Thursday. Before traveling to Turkey, Straw paid
a visit yesterday first to Nicosia and then to the Turkish
part of the city, meeting with leaders on both sides. In a
news conference in the buffer zone after wrapping up talks,
Straw stressed that his visit should be evaluated under the
good-offices mission of Secretary General Annan. Straw has
stressed that his calling on the Turkish Cypriot leader
Mehmet Ali Talat at his office in the north did not mean an
'upgrade' the in political status of the 'TRNC.'
Wexler, Whitfield Praise Turkey's Cyprus Action Plan: US
Congressmen Robert Wexler (D) and an Ed Whitfield (D)
praised the new Cyprus initiative launched by the Turkish
government, papers report. Wexler and Whitfield, members of
the US-Turkey Friendship Group, called for and end to the
international isolation of Turkish Cypriots. 'The Cyprus
action plan, made public by the Turkish government, is a
constructive effort, aiming to make progress in the ongoing
Cyprus problem,' the Congressmen said in a statement.
Whitfield said the action plan was a 'good-will initiative,'
and stated that it will contribute to economic development
and stability of the island. Wexler expressed hope that the
Greek Cypriot administration would respond to this call
immediately, and that talks would resume under the auspices
of the UN. Wexler also stressed that Turkey, Greece and the
two communities in Cyprus had seized an extraordinary
opportunity to work for regional peace, democracy and
prosperity under the plan proposed by Turkey.
Alpogan Seeks Support on PKK, Cyprus in Washington: During
his meetings in Washington earlier this week, Turkish
National Security Council (NSC) Secretary-General Yigit
Alpogan urged the Americans to hand over the leaders of the
outlawed PKK organization in northern Iraq, papers report.
Alpogan said in a speech he delivered on Tuesday at the
Washington Institute that such forward steps would help in
restoring the image of the US in the view of Turks. A
source told "Milliyet" that the US had declined to make any
commitments regarding the fight against the PKK. The Iraqi
Kurds continue efforts to change the demographic structure
of Kirkuk, Alpogan said, proposing a change in the
constitution regarding the future of the city or else a four-
year delay of the referendum due to be held in 2007. He
also warned that inclusion of Kirkuk in the region
controlled by the Kurds will lead to big problems in Iraq.
A high-ranking military officer told "Radikal" that the
Turkish military views the PKK issue from a standpoint of
separatism rather than of terrorism. 'Things in Iraq are
not going the way the US wants, and we are worried about
separatism in Iraq. We need a political strategy to deal
with the problem -- not just a military one,' the source
said. Alpogan said that Syria should not be completely
isolated in the international arena. Alpogan noted that
Foreign Minister Gul has proposed to Syria that they try
five Syrian suspects in Turkey in connection with the
assassination of former Lebanese PM Hariri. Alpogan also
requested US support for Turkey's new action plan on Cyprus.
An unidentified US official who attended the Alpogan's
meeting with Secretary Rice is quoted by "Milliyet" as
saying that Turkey and the US shared the same views with
regard to the nuclear program of Iran. "Cumhuriyet" reports
that Alpogan submitted a report to the US which said that
Iranian missiles posed a threat to Turkey, adding that
ANKARA 00000297 003 OF 005
Turkey urgently needed a missile defense system. Alpogan
outlined Turkish conditions for supporting a possible
military operation against Iran, emphasizing that Turkey
will extend only intelligence and logistic support to the US
in a possible operation against Iran. 'There have been good
relations between Turkey and Iran for a long time. However,
we do not want Iran to have nuclear weapons. We support
efforts to find a solution to the problem through diplomatic
means,' Alpogan emphasized. Alpogan's meetings in the US
had been a response to the recent visits of CIA and FBI
Directors to Turkey, says "Cumhuriyet."
USTR Donnelly Visits Ankara: Assistant US Trade
Representative for Europe and the Mediterranean, Shaun
Donnelly, said that the US wishes to increase trade with
Turkey, which is currently 10 billion USD, Turkish papers
reported on Wednesday. Donnelly, heading the US delegation
in a meeting of the Turkey-US Trade and Investment Framework
Agreement (TIFA) Council, stressed that, with the TIFA
meeting, commercial obstacles have been removed and an
important step made to promote investments in both
countries. 'We plan to develop joint projects and make
investments with Turkey in the Caucasus, Central Asia and
Middle East,' said Donnelly. Donnelly pointed out that
General Electrics (GE) has purchased shares of Turkish
Garanti Bank. 'Other major US corporations will also invest
in Turkey soon,' Donnelly noted. Turkish State Minister
Kursad Tuzmen noted that there is no joint economic
commission between Turkey and the US other than TIFA. 'This
meeting convened after three years, and is important from
the perspective of developing commercial ties,' Tuzmen said.
Tuzmen said the issue of Qualified Industrial Zones was also
raised at the meeting. 'We want to include textiles and
ready made garments in such zones,' he added.
US Bird Flu Team Tours Turkey's Eastern Provinces: 'We are
impressed by the program carried out by Turkey to contain
bird flu,' said Ann Derse, a senior official from the US
State Department heading the US bird flu team to the eastern
cities of Erzurum and Van over the weekend, Turkish papers
reported earlier this week. The US delegation, comprised of
a senior infectious diseases adviser with USAID and other
experts on animal and human health, toured affected areas in
Turkey to assess what help the United States can provide,
ended their meetings on Sunday and departed for Baku from
Van. Derse told the press before departure that they were
briefed by the local officials in both provinces on the
efforts to contain the disease. Derse said that bird flu
was a global problem and it needed a global solution. She
praised Turkey's transparency and thanked Turkish officials
for their cooperation. Other team members said they were
impressed by the professional steps and methods taken by
Turkey when compared to other countries which have the
disease. On Sunday, the US team visited the university
hospital in Van where four children had died of the deadly
H5N1 strain of bird flu. The chief physician of the
hospital said they asked the US team to help to establish a
modern laboratory in the region. Meanwhile, "Zaman" reports
Thursday that Turkey's efforts to combat bird flu are
yielding results. Tour operators said that if tourist
reservations continue at the present pace, Turkey will
achieve its 2006 targets.
Military Source: AKP Government Slow in Fighting Separatism:
An unidentified senior Turkish military source told
"Radikal" that the military does not mind who becomes the
next president, provided he respects the constitution. The
source said the ruling AK Party government is too slow in
fighting separatism, and needs to formulate a clear policy.
ANKARA 00000297 004 OF 005
'Like many other circles in Turkey, the military is
concerned about the favoritism shown for, for example, the
graduates of theology high-schools. We convey to the
government our views through legal channels. The
possibility of a military takeover in Turkey is out of the
question,' the source said.
Erdogan to Attend World Economic Forum Meetings in Davos:
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan will travel to Davos,
Switzerland on Thursday to attend the World Economic Forum
meetings. Erdogan will be received by the Swiss, Pakistani,
Afghani, and Georgian presidents, meet with Kofi Annan and
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and also
participate in a meeting on 'enlarging the borders of
Europe' during his stay in Davos, papers report.
Mixed Prayer Draws Islamic Reformation Comments in Turkey:
Turkish papers reported earlier this week that the wife of
Cuneyd Zapsu, a close advisor to PM Erdogan, has been
attending a mosque where women do not cover their heads and
pray side-by-side with men. Left-leaning "Cumhuriyet," and
mainstream dailies describe the reformist Islam group as a
form of 'Islamic Calvinism.' "Sabah" reports that the
movement has its roots in the US. The fundamentalist daily
"Vakit" speculates that this could be an attempt by the US
to 'degenerate' Islam in Turkey. "Hurriyet" says under the
headline 'Protestant Turks' that a group of people in
central Turkey launched a reform movement in Islam like the
16th century reformation movement in Christianity.
"Cumhuriyet" and some other mainstream papers claim that
'mixed prayer' is causing trouble in the ruling AK Party.
The AKP is split over whether women should be allowed to
pray alongside men in mosques without headscarves, say
papers.
EDITORIAL OPINION: Palestine Elections; Iran
"A Difficult Election"
Sami Kohen commented in the mainstream "Milliyet" (1/25):
"This time the Palestinian elections have a potential to
create an impact on both the fate of the Palestinian people
and the future of Israel-Palestine peace. The popular
support evident in election results for Hamas, which is
known for its attacks against Israel and radical Islamist
tendencies, stemmed from its social programs to end
unemployment and poverty. This approach helped Hamas gain
political support. Some people who voted in favor of Hamas
and against Al Fatah are not bothered with the radical
religious rhetoric and are more concerned with the
settlement of social and economic problems. If Hamas finds
itself as a coalition partner with Al Fatah, it will have to
choose between politics and violence."
"Iran and Beyond"
Namik Kemal Zeybek argued in the conservative "Tercuman"
(1/26): "The main reason Iran has become a target stems from
its resistance against being a part of the global
capitalistic system. Iran continues to resist allowing its
natural resources to fall into the hands of global markets.
The ongoing nuclear power dispute is just a pretext for
international players to manipulate Turkish opinion about
the activities against Iran. Unfortunately these players
are backed by influential media and other figures in Turkey.
On the issue of nuclear weapons, the rhetoric against Iran
does not reflect the actual truth as there is no proof that
Iran is going to produce nuclear weapons. A State
Department spokesman recently said that he believes Turkey
is worried about Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is
ANKARA 00000297 005 OF 005
not the first time we have read or heard similar rhetoric
against Iran. The question to ask is: Why was there no
objection when Israel possessed nuclear weapons? Who
actually used its nuclear power against Japan? Who is
actually becoming more dangerous?"
"Iran's Position"
Yilmaz Oztuna wrote in the conservative-nationalist
"Turkiye" (1/26): "Iran wants to be a leading country in
the Middle East and believes that a leading country should
have the atomic bomb. The US insists on being the corrector
of mistakes, as well as a leader, organizer, fighter against
terrorism, and the distributor for the Middle Eastern oil
resources. The US supports its plan by establishing strong
military bases. With its new regime, Iran doesn't present a
model for the Middle East. Other than Turkey, achieving
democracy in this region may not be impossible, but it is
definitely a slowly developing process. Moreover, neither
Turkey which controlled this region for centuries, nor Egypt
which stands for the Arab leadership position, would agree
with Iran's superiority. Iran, in order to eliminate
isolation, may try to spread its ideology to Turkey,
Lebanon, Palestine, Southern Iraq, the Caucasus, the Turkic
Republics and to the Balkans. An Iranian Foreign Ministry
spokesman announced a few days ago that Iran is ready to
share its nuclear power with all Islamic countries and with
the Middle East. However, there isn't a single Muslim
country ready to accept such an offer from Iran. They will
all kindly say "no" to this."
