Elections in Turkey: A Nationalist Landslide After a legislation period full of turbulent changes in government, with several corruption scandals and a final coup such as the arrest of the Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan, a landslide could have been expected by the Turkish general elections. The surprise, however, was not so much the good result of prime minister Bulent Ecevit, whose Democratic Left reached 22,3 %, but the strengthening of the extreme right, the National Action Party (MHP) of Devlet Bahceli which reached 18,1 % and became the second party in the Turkish Parliament. The Fundamentalist, instead, have lost consensus as well as the two conservative parties, Motherland and True Path. Bulent Ecevit is now supposed to form a coalition with True Path and the Nationalists. Though considered one of the more hawkish among Turkish politicians, Mr. Ecevit is largely respected. He has firm democratic and secular convictions and should be a guarantee. But if the MHP, whose paramilitary wing is known as the "Grey Wolves", enter cabinet, Turkey might as well be moving into the unknown. 1999 • bulent ecevit • national action party • motherland • true path

US Government Does Payola? This article points out how the US government has been paying TV networks to change television episode scripts to reflect an anti-drug message, and then having the networks let the government review the scripts to make sure it's "up to govt. snuff".

An Italian Leader: Berlusconi the Crusader While US and European leaders are trying to put together a large coalition against the fundamentalist supporters of terrorism, the Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has caused a diplomatic incident with his declaration on the supremacy of the western civilization. Berlusconi, a media tycoon running Italy since May, is not at his first blunder. Italian voters know his loquacity, but still this didn’t keep them from sending him to government with the elections held in May. Since, Italy’s prime minister, who is also on trial for bribery, has not resolved any of his numerous conflicts of interests, among them his fear of international investigations, which are now necessary to seize the terrorists’ financial resources. Yet, as a traditional friend of Arab nations, Italy could still play an important role in the current diplomatic game due to the presence of the former Afghan king Zahir Shah in Rome. silvio berlusconi • italy • osama bin laden • zahir shah • schröder
