    SUBJECT: LEYLA ZANA HOSTS LUNCH FOR EU, U.S. DIPLOMATS

    Classified by A/DCM James Moore, E.O. 12958, reasosn 1.4 (b)
    and (d).

    ¶1.  (C) Summary:  Leyla Zana and the three other
    recently-released DEP deputies hosted a lunch on July 5 for
    diplomats from the EU and U.S.  Although Zana and the other
    deputies said people in southeastern Turkey do not want
    violence, some EU diplomats -- and we -- left the lunch
    frustrated that Zana and the others stopped short of
    condemning the PKK (aka Kongra Gel, KHK, etc).  Zana and the
    others put forth no new ideas for the southeast.  End Summary

    A Media Event

    ¶2.  (C) The lunch, which the Zana and the other hosts billed
    as an opportunity "to meet and exchange ideas," was a media
    event.  A swarm of Turkish electronic and print media was
    present outside the restaurant, and Zana and the deputies
    permitted them inside for photographs but no questions at the
    top of the lunch.  As EU President, the Dutch Embassy
    reportedly tried unsuccessfully to postpone the lunch due to
    concerns about media hype.  The Turkish Ministry of Foreign
    Affairs (MFA) was reportedly also concerned the lunch would
    be a publicity stunt; although Zana invited FM Gul, no MFA
    official attended.  Embassy Ankara Deputy Political Counselor
    attended for the U.S.

    Zana Talks the Talk....

    ¶3.  (U) Zana made prepared remarks at the beginning of the
    lunch.  She cited the "winds of change" in Turkey and called
    on all parties to "forget the past."  She pointed out that
    she selected white decor for the lunch to symbolize a "white
    page in politics and a purged and pure political stance."
    She called for a new era of peace, reconciliation and
    dialogue, and pledged to pursue those goals "even at the cost
    of being politically isolated."

    ¶4.  (U) She said that during her highly-publicized visit to
    the southeast following her release that she found the people
    there want to abandon "arms, denial, destruction,
    assimilation and separatist approaches."  She declared "the
    EU presents a new way of life for Turkey, for Turks and
    Kurds."  She called for the Kurdish issue to be solved
    "through peaceful and lasting means" and expressed hope the
    EU would grant Turkey a date to begin accession talks.

    ...But Balks at Condemning the PKK

    ¶5.  (U) In response, the Dutch Ambassador (as current EU
    President), the Irish Ambassador (the outgoing President) and
    the Austrian Ambassador all called on Zana to be more clear
    in her condemnation of terrorism in the southeast.  The Irish
    Ambassador pointed out that Zana had not criticized PKK
    violence.  (Zana condemned the July 2 bomb attack on the
    governor's convoy in Van, for which the PKK denied
    responsibility.  Yeni Safak columnist Fehmi Koru hinted
    sarcastically that Zana's condemnation of the attack proved
    the PKK is not responsible.)  Zana balked at the opportunity
    to condemn the PKK.  She repeated that her trip through the
    southeast suggested that "the people" in the southeast do not
    want violence although some "small, marginal groups" support
    terrorism.

    ¶6.  (C)  The ex-DEP deputies were no more forthcoming about
    the PKK in one-on-one discussions.  Asked if he considered
    the PKK a terrorist organization now that both the U.S. and
    EU list it as such, Selim Sadak replied "ask the people."  He
    considers violence the natural result of conditions on the
    southeast, and compared it to the reaction of an animal poked
    at with a stick.  Sadak advocates a general amnesty for the
    PKK and more democratization in order to end violence.
    European Commission political officer Sema Kilic asked Sadak
    why PKK violence continues despite a string of improvements
    in the human rights situation in the southeast; Sadak replied
    "ask the PKK."  When UK Political Chief Ajay Sharma pushed
    ex-deputy Orhan Dogan on the PKK, Dogan told him that the
    ex-deputies do not have the political stature to break with
    Abdullah Ocalan and the PKK.

    ¶7.  (C) Comment:  Zana and the others put forth no new ideas
    about the southeast at the luncheon.  Several EU diplomats,
    including the UK, Irish, Danes and Austrians, although
    pleased by Zana's release, left the lunch frustrated by her
    failure to condemn the PKK.  So did we.  End Comment.
