SUBJECT: ANKARA MEDIA REACTION REPORT
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2009
In Today's Papers
A Call to Turkey in an Armenian Report (CNN Turk)
Media report the International Crisis Group issued a report
recommending that Turkey "not miss the opportunity" to normalize
relations with Armenia. Mainstream Milliyet reports in, "Don't Miss
the Opportunity with Armenia," that the Brussels-based think tank
"stressed the importance of supporting the normalization process
with Armenia." Leftist Taraf calls the report "A 'Don't Miss This
Opportunity' Recommendation to Turkey." Leftist-nationalist
Cumhuriyet reports "The ICG told Ankara to persuade Baku and to not
miss out on the opportunity with Armenia," and the ICG report warned
U.S. President Barack Obama "to be cautious."
In a related article, Milliyet headlines, "The Opposition Went, But
the AKP Is Not Going to Baku," and notes, "parliamentarians from the
CHP and MHP joined a meeting in Baku today on the topic of
Turkey-Azerbaijan relations, but the AKP decided not to join," while
the Head of the Turkey-Azerbaijan Friendship Group Mustafa Kabakci
(of the ruling AKP) in parliament said "we didn't give any
promises" and "the invitation was not addressed solely to me, but to
the Turkey-Azerbaijan Friendship Group." Far right Ortadogu reports
"The AKP said 'yes' to Armenia and 'no' to its brother," and
'brother' here is referring to Azerbaijan. Islamist-oriented Yeni
Safak reports "After the tensions that developed last week, a group
of Azeri women parliamentarians is in Ankara today for a very
important visit," to "discuss bilateral relations with President
Gul, Speaker of the Parliament Toptan, and other AKP party leaders."
Meanwhile, Leftist Taraf reports British outlet The Times commented
"Opening the Turkey-Armenian border will cause Turkey to become a
major power in the Caucasus and Central Asia," as "The last piece of
the iron curtain is falling" because, "the ice is melting between
Armenia and Turkey." Mainstream Star reports, "In a good will
gesture to Armenia, Turkey will open the border with Armenia once
per week" and this gate opening will mean that "Armenia can take a
breath of relief for its economy."
Islamist-oriented Zaman reports in "Yerevan Abandons Territorial
Claims," that "sources in Yerevan indicate Armenia will no longer
seek territorial claims from Turkey" and "Yerevan has given the
green light to setting up an historical commission to examine the
events of 1915." Zaman adds "it will take years before the committee
begins fully working after its establishment." But Zaman notes, "By
agreeing to set up a committee of historians, Yerevan would have
accepted that the events of 1915 constitute an 'historical problem'
rather than a political or legal problem." An agreement between
Turkey and Armenia will be announced in a third country, probably
Switzerland, according to Zaman.
Gul, Baykal, Bahceli on Turkey-Armenia
Media outlets report that before departing for Bahrain on Tuesday,
President Abdullah Gul spoke to reporters regarding Turkey's Armenia
initiative. "It's not appropriate diplomatically to discuss these
issues openly in front of the cameras. While we are talking to
Armenians to resolve the differences, Turkey is also working toward
a resolution to the problems between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Our
desire is stability in the Caucasus," said Gul.
Addressing his party group yesterday, the main opposition CHP leader
Deniz Baykal blamed the ruling AKP for making "some promises behind
the curtains" on Armenia. "They tell us to open the border. If we
open the border, the Armenian occupation of Nagorno Karabakh will
gain legitimacy. How can those ruling Turkey accept that?" asked
Baykal. Baykal stressed Turkey "must be in solidarity with
Azerbaijan," noting that "energy cooperation could be jeopardized if
the border with Armenia opens."
ANKARA 00000557 002 OF 005
Opposition far right MHP chairman Devlet Bahceli said "No one has
the power to open the border with Armenia unless the allegations
based on the genocide lie are given up, the occupied
Nagorno-Karabakh is returned to Azerbaijan, and territorial claims
over Turkey are abandoned." Bahceli claimed the normalization
process with Armenia that began with President Gul's September visit
to Yerevan reached a level making "unilateral concessions."
Anti-PKK Operations Detain 51 in 12 Provinces in Turkey
Media outlets report 51 people, including three pro-Kurdish DTP
deputy provincial chairmen and three lawyers for Abdullah Ocalan,
were taken into custody in 12 provinces, in operations initiated
against the PKK by the Diyarbakir Prosecutor's Office. The
prosecutor's office said the people detained were the members of the
PKK's "Turkey Working Group" and were accused of "organizing and
leading the illegal actions of the PKK in Turkey." Following a
"technical pursuit" by police that lasted for one year, operations
were staged on 57 places in 15 provinces --mostly in Diyarbakir. 51
people including three deputy chairmen of Democratic Society Party,
or DTP, as well as three lawyers of Abdullah Ocalan, head of PKK
terrorist organization, were taken into custody.
Turkey's main Kurdish party DTP Chairman Ahmet Turk said the
operation was the "manifestation of the AKP government's intolerance
to the local election results." "Our friends must be set free. The
PKK's declaration of 'inaction' until June 1 is a good opportunity
for Turkey," said Turk. The DTP deputy Emine Ayna said the
operation was "very dangerous" and was "forcing people to seek ways
other than politics" to address the Kurdish issue.
Basbug Delivers 'Historic' Speech
Media outlets report on Tuesday, the Chief of the military General
Staff (TGS), General Ilker Basbug, issued "key messages" in his
annual speech at the War Academy in Istanbul. Basbug said the
responsibilities of the military leaders were important, emphasizing
"the concerns and recommendations of the military should be taken
into consideration by the civilian authority." "Of course, the
final decision lies with the civilian authority. Politicians,
however, would be responsible for any outcome that may emerge from a
failure to consider the sincere and realistic recommendations made
by the military." Basbug said "ill-intentioned groups" were
carrying out smear campaigns to label the Turkish military as
"anti-democratic and anti-religion." "The army is made up of our
people, and it has the same sensitivities our people have," said
Basbug, adding the pious people in the country loved their army. In
"We Cannot Remain Indifferent to Sects," mainstream Milliyet reports
Basbug as saying "religious sects" organized around interest groups
could not be called "non-governmental organization." "Some
religious sects present themselves as a player in the democratic
area, and that they have a strong position. Such a perception,
however, is misleading," emphasized Basbug.
In "Surprise Opening," mainstream Sabah says that in his speech,
Basbug put an emphasis on "the people of Turkey." Basbug said "The
people of Turkey who founded the Republic of Turkey are called the
Turkish nation." He noted the Turkish military was a "side" in the
preservation of "nation-state" and "unitary state structures."
Basbug also said the struggle against the outlawed PKK was "not an
ethnic conflict." Basbug underlined the Kurds live together with
the rest of the nation and share a common future, and denied that
the state implemented "assimilation policy" against the Kurds.
"There's nothing wrong with the Kurds asking to enjoy their cultural
rights but the appeal of the secondary identity should not dominate
our common and upper identity," Basbug said. Basbug said the
"secondary identities," what he called "cultural freedoms," should
be protected. "But we cannot create new upper identities or
minorities. Otherwise we'll find ourselves in the position of Iraq,
Lebanon and some Balkan countries," he said.
Basbug described President Obama's praise for the Turkish model as
something more than an effort to win the sympathy of Turks, saying
ANKARA 00000557 003 OF 005
it was actually an "attempt to solve the problems of the U.S. in the
international arena." "Secularism is the fundamental pillar of the
founding philosophy of Turkey. A modern republic can only be
possible with democracy," said Basbug. On the PKK and the problem
of terror, Basbug said the "state must do some changes, with better
implementation of the existing legal arrangements, in a way to
separate the mountain cadres of the PKK from the organization."
"Terrorists are human beings too," said Basbug. "For us the
important things is to capture them alive and bring them to
justice."
Editorial Commentary on General Basbug's Speech
Erdal Safak wrote in mainstream Sabah: " In his speech, General
Basbug highlighted issues regarding counterterrorism, democracy,
secularism and civilian-military ties. He said 'the state should
take measures to prevent people from joining the terrorist
organization. Arrangements should be made in the existing laws in
order to divide the terrorist organization PKK.' With these
realistic and brave comments, General Basbug made the politicians'
jobs easier. I hope they will take Basbug's passing ball and score
a goal."
Taha Akyol wrote in mainstream Milliyet: " Basbug's remarks showed
us all a new intellectual approach from the military."
Fikret Bila wrote in Milliyet: "General Basbug gave warm messages
to religious people and to Kurds, but rather harsh messages to
religious sects for presenting themselves as though they are part of
democratic life."
Hikmet Cetinkaya wrote in leftist-nationalist Cumhuriyet: "General
Basbug pulled the masks off the Fethullah Gulen supporters' faces by
saying 'some religious sects are trying to shape our socio-political
life.' FG supporters view the military as the greatest obstacle to
their ability to assume the most important positions of power in
Turkey."
Mehmet Yilmaz wrote in Islamist-oriented Zaman: General Basbug, in
his speech yesterday, focused so much on domestic issues and
home-security that he failed to mention global issues such as
Israel's harsh policies, Iran's nuclear program, security problems
in Iraq, NATO's mission, and the request for additional troops to
Afghanistan. All these issues are the military's responsibility and
are all about Turkey's security."
Ismet Berkan wrote in liberal Radikal: "In his speech yesterday,
General Basbug stressed openly that the Turkish military respects
the constitution, the rule of law and democracy. His remarks
regarding the religious sects reflected the military's open distaste
for the Fethullah Gulen community."
Ali Bayramoglu wrote in Islamist-oriented Yeni Safak: "General
Basbug delivered a positive speech yesterday in order to avoid
tensions. He touched political issues only through security issues.
Even though it will be wrong to call this "a new era" for the
military, we can definitely note there are new balances in the
military. Nevertheless, in democratic countries TGS Chiefs do not
deliver such ceremonial speeches via live TV broadcast. Moreover,
in democratic countries, such speeches have no impact on political
balances."
Baykal, Bahceli Criticize Latest 'Ergenekon' Detentions
Media outlets report rising reactions to Monday's police searches at
the offices of the Organization to Support Contemporary Life (CYDD)
and at the house of the CYDD chairperson Professor Turkan Saylan, a
respected figure of secular women in Turkey who has been helping
girls to continue their education by giving monthly allowances to
36,000 students. Saylan's personal documents were seized in her
house.
ANKARA 00000557 004 OF 005
The main opposition CHP leader Deniz Baykal strongly criticized the
latest wave of arrests made in the controversial 'Ergenekon' case.
"This is terror, this is a coup d'etat," said Baykal. "Coups are
not always made by tanks, rifles and troops. This is a coup by the
ruling AKP. In fact, it is also a coup by the prosecutors," Baykal
told a meeting of his party group at the parliament. Baykal said
the Ergenekon case has been turned into a "symbol of horror." "No
one knows why members of the CYDD, the Baskent University Rector
Mehmet Haberal and other rectors were detained, or why the house of
Turkan Saylan was searched," emphasized Baykal. Opposition MHP
leader Devlet Bahceli said Turkey's laws were being "abused for
political purposes." "There's concern that the laws are being
abused for political gain as well for oppressing people," said
Bahceli.
The Taliban Strikes Again in Afghanistan, Wins Zerdari's Approval
for Sharia Law in Pakistan's Svat Region
Media outlets note the Taliban is not going away - in fact their
influence is clearly on the rise throughout Afghanistan and
Pakistan. Secularist outlets, in particular, pay attention to the
Taliban's cold-blooded murder of a newly wedded couple in
Afghanistan, along with Pakistan's decision to allow the Taliban to
practice Sharia law in the Svat region. Islamist outlets refrain
from commenting on these developments. Mainstream Milliyet reports
in, "Pakistan is Becoming Talibanized," that "Washington is in
shock" because the U.S. sees the peace accord between Pakistan and
the Taliban as "undermining democracy and human rights."
Leftist-nationalist Cumhuriyet headlines, "Zerdari Approves Sharia
Law in Svat." Leftist-nationalist Cumhuriyet reports in "A Taliban
Lesson to Lovers," that "a young couple in Afghanistan was murdered
by the Taliban after they were married," and "they eloped because
the young wife's parents did not approve of her marriage." CNN Turk
reports in "Taliban Savagery" that "these two were lined up for a
lesson" from the Taliban.
Obama Extends A Hand to Cuba, Castro Complains It's Not Enough
Media outlets comment that U.S. President Barack Obama is changing
the U.S. approach to Cuba, but Fidel Castro is still trying to call
the shots. Far right Ortadogu headlines "Castro Wants a Lifting of
the Blockade, not More Donations." Leftist-nationalist Cumhuriyet
headlines, "Cuba Doesn't Want Alms," and "Fidel Castro criticized
the revised U.S. policy for not promising to lift the blockade."
Liberal Radikal headlines "An Obama Hand to Cuba," and reports that
Cuba "wants an end to isolation." Mainstream Sabah reports "A
47-Year Old Law is Lifted," as "families are pleased that the travel
restrictions have been lifted" but "Fidel Castro says 'We don't want
the blockade.'"
