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

IV of X: Racial Violence in Indonesia For 32 years, the ethnic Chinese have been targeted as one of the main "victims" by the government system; it is a systematic discrimination. The discrimination has been embedded subtly, and yet very clearly in the government's procedures and policies. Security and safety always come with an "under the table" price tag, which is a form of crime. Currently, there are at least 16 laws that could be considered as racist. Thirteen out of the sixteen could be considered as targeted directly against ethnic Chinese, covering the areas of civil, political and social rights. Nine out of those thirteen are the products of the New Order Regime, which introduced most of them in its early days. human • humane • human right • human rights • human rights law

Turkey and Europe: Kurd Terrorist Leader Trapped The odyssey of the Kurd leader Abdullah Ocalan came to an end when the Turkish secret service kidnapped him on February 16th in Nairobi, Kenya. Reaction of the Kurdish minorities spread all over Europe and the Middle East already caused dozens of victims. European politicians showed themselves very concerned about the disorders and the risks of the forthcoming trial, which could end with a death penalty and the execution of the Kurd leader. Meanwhile in Ankara, prime minister Bulent Ecevit has bettered his prospects for the forthcoming elections in April. But after the elections Turkey's leaders would be wise to be lenient with their prominent prisoner. ocalan • kurds • kurdistan • kurdish • turkey
