    National Security Council Convenes

    ¶1. The second annual meeting of Turkey's Supreme Military Council
    (YAS) convened under PM Tayyip Erdogan on November 30 to assess
    external threats, recent developments in the region, the ongoing
    fight against the PKK terrorist organization, military policies and
    modernization needs of the military.  At this meeting the YAS also
    expelled 37 military personnel, two of them for engaging in
    fundamentalist activities, the remainder for misconduct.  As they
    have during past meetings, PM Erdogan and Defense Minister Vecdi
    Gonul noted their reservations to the expulsions and stated that the
    expulsion decision should be made by a court of law.  This practice
    has become routine with the AKP government.

    General Staff issued a written announcement to cancel bilateral
    military activities with France in 2006 and 2007.  As a result,
    joint exercises planned for 2006 and the planned visit of Air Forces
    Commander Gen Faruk Comert to France have been cancelled.  During
    the November 16 kick-off meeting of the International Defense
    Industry Fair (IDEF) to take place in Turkey in May 2007, DefenseMinister Vecdi Gonul announced that France woul not be invited to
    participate (Semi-official Anatolian News Agency (ANA).
