Crisis in Turkey: Kurd Terrorists and Corrupt Parties

The arrest of the Kurd leader and presumed terrorist Abdullah Ocalan in Rome has caused a complicated international row involving several European nations, among them the NATO partners Turkey, Italy and Germany as well as Russia. The dispute about Ocalan's destiny has represented to the European public opinion the drama of the Kurd nation divided between four states. Meanwhile in the Turkish parliament in Ankara even this difficult affair couldn't keep the parties from overthrowing the government of the conservative prime minister Mesut Yilmaz. Threatened by the growing strength of the Islamic Fundamentalists Virtue Party, the Turkish democracy risks falling into turmoil once again. The new government of Bulent Ecevit should prepare the country for the next general elections in April, but the Turkish military stands ready to defend its Kemalistic tradition and interests.
