    BRIEFING

    General Abizaid Visit:
    CENTCOM Commander General Abizaid left Ankara yesterday
    after meeting with Deputy TGS Chief General Ilker Basbug.
    "Milliyet" reports that during the meeting, the Turkish side
    highlighted its concerns about the PKK, Kirkuk, and the need
    to preserve Iraq's territorial integrity. "Hurriyet" adds
    that Abizaid conveyed important messages to Iran and Syria
    through Turkey not to disturb the regional peace, and warned
    them that the US would not tolerate interference in Iraq.
    "Sabah" notes that Abizaid's meeting with Basbug took place
    in a `relaxed' atmosphere and included a `big picture'
    discussion of a wide range of regional issues.  The paper
    claims that the two sides were careful to `speak in a common
    language' on sensitive issues.  General Abizaid reportedly
    referred to General Basbug as `a good soldier.'

    "Sabah" Ankara Bureau Chief Asli Aydintasbas, who
    interviewed Abizaid notes that Abizaid repeated several
    times `the need to keep communications channels with Ankara
    open.' `I didn't come here with any demands, but rather to
    have a dialogue with Turkey,' he said.  Aydintasbas comments
    that although this might seem at first glance like `an empty
    expression,' it was in fact the main goal of the visit both
    for the US and Turkey.  Abizaid acknowledged that CENTCOM
    has not had the kind of dialogue with Turkey that it should
    have.  `Turkey is important, and what Turkey says and does
    is critical for Iraq,' he added.  Abizaid discussed efforts
    by Baathists and Al-Qaeda elements to intimidate Sunni Arab
    voters in Iraq, but insisted that most Sunni Arabs want to
    participate in the upcoming elections.  Abizaid asserted
    that conditions for elections were good `in 14 of Iraq's 18
    provinces.'  He hinted that if the turnout is significantly
    lower among Sunni Arabs, a way would need to be found to
    ensure Sunni representation in the new Iraqi Assembly.
    Abizaid said he had no new proposals concerning Incirlik air
    base, but said he had reminded the Turks of the US interest
    in establishing a cargo hub at Incirlik.  Such a hub,
    according to Abizaid, `could reduce the traffic at the Habur
    Gate, and could reduce the number of attacks against Turkish
    drivers in Iraq.'  Abizaid stressed that Kirkuk is `a
    political issues that nobody should try to resolve through
    force.'  He said he was confident that Iraqis could work out
    a solution for Kirkuk through patient negotiations.  `Kirkuk
    is an Iraqi city, just like Baghdad, Basra, and Mosul are
    Iraqi cities,' he added.  Abizaid stated emphatically that
    the United States `does not support the establishment of a
    Kurdish state.'  The Iraqi elections, he said, `are for all
    Iraqis, not for any particular ethnic group.'  Abizaid said
    that US forces would remain in Iraq `to give the Iraqis the
    opportunity to build the future they deserve.'  He noted
    that the Turkish example is `critically important' for the
    future of Iraq.  `We know that we must work together with
    Turkey in the War on Terroism,' Abizaid said.  He noted that
    `while we may from time to time have some differences on
    tactics, we are on the same page at the strategic level.'

    "Milliyet" columnist Fikret Bila writes that Ankara was
    `pleased' by the results of the Abizaid visit.  He notes
    that Abizaid shares Turkey's assessment of Iraq,
    particularly on the questions of Iraq's territorial
    integrity and the need to hold the Iraqi elections on time.
    Abizaid made no new demands on Incirlik, Bila writes, but
    mentioned a possible broadening of logistical cooperation at
    Incirlik within the framework of existing UN decisions.
    Abizaid told Turkish officials that US forces fought
    exclusively with insurgents in Fallujah, and claimed that 90
    percent of the city's civilian population had left the city
    before the fighting began.  He pointed out that US forces
    had found torture chambers, and suggested that even some
    mosques may have been used for this purpose.

    Trilateral Meetings on the PKK:  "Cumhuriyet" reports that
    `no concrete results' emerged from the trilateral meeting in
    Ankara held by officials of Turkey, the US, and Iraq.
    Ankara failed to convince the US to carry out a military
    operation against the PKK or to prevent PKK participation in
    the upcoming Iraqi elections.  "Milliyet" reports that after
    getting the message from the US that captured PKK militants
    in Iraq would be handed over to Iraqi authorities, Turkish
    officials decided to arrange bilateral meetings with Iraq to
    discuss the possibility of increased bilateral cooperation
    against terrorism.  The US delegation declined a Turkish
    request for direct extradition of PKK militants, and said
    that the responsibility for such issues belongs to Iraq.
    "Milliyet" Ankara Bureau Chief Fikret Bila claims that
    Turkey and Iraq agreed that existing Iraqi law would permit
    Iraqi authorities to extradite PKK leaders if they are
    arrested in Iraq.  "Hurriyet" reports that PM Erdogan said
    the meeting represented a `serious step forward,' adding
    that he anticipated `serious measures by the United States
    on the PKK issue after the Iraqi elections.  All papers
    report that Turkey has requested the capture and return to
    Turkey of about 150 PKK militants, including Osman Ocalan,
    brother of jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan.

    WMD Presence in Iraq:   "Yeni Safak" and "Aksam" cite "The
    Washington Post" in reporting that the United States has
    called off its search for weapons of mass destruction in
    Iraq.  The report of US inspectors claims that while Saddam
    had the will to produce WMDs, he had neither the financial
    resources nor the technical capacity to carry out such a
    project.

    EDITORIAL OPINION:  Iraq-CENTCOM Visit
    Abizaid: "Turkey's Support of Key Importance to Future of
    Iraq"
    Murat Yetkin wrote in the liberal-opinion maker "Radikal"
    (1/13):  "General John Abizaid, who commands the United
    States' war in Iraq, used the expression "keeping the
    channels of communication open" to describe his two-day
    visit to Turkey.  US Central Forces (CENTCOM) Commander
    Abizaid, who runs the war in both Iraq and Afghanistan, used
    this expression three times in the course of our half-hour
    interview yesterday.

    As to why General Abizaid, who had met on the day before
    yesterday with Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul and MGK
    [National Security Council] General Secretary Ambassador
    Yigit Alpdogan and then yesterday with Deputy General Staff
    Chief General Ilker Basbug, felt the need for this emphasis,
    one can see it in these words of his:  "The relationship and
    the channels of communication to date between Turkey and
    CENTCOM via EUCOM (the United States' European Forces) have
    not been able to be open.  I am here to discuss these things
    and keep the channels open.  I am here to keep the channels
    of information flow open, and to exchange views.  We have to
    be able to discuss everything openly with our friend and
    ally Turkey."

    Does this include the incident on 4 July 2003, when US
    troops under the command of CENTCOM put bags over the heads
    of Turkish troops in Al-Sulaymaniyah and detained them?  Or
    the ongoing murders of Turkish truck-drivers in Iraq despite
    Turkey's request for extra protection?  Or the killing of
    the five Turkish police officials?

    Abizaid said that "Al-Sulaymaniyah was an unfortunate
    incident.  The killing of the Turkish security personnel
    near Mosul was as well.  We regret these things.  But this
    is a war.  Our efforts to take greater measures together
    have to continue."  The American commander said nothing
    different from what has been said before regarding the PKK
    presence in Iraq:  "We stand behind our promise that we are
    not going to allow terrorists to establish themselves in
    Iraq.  The PKK and its extensions are accepted by our
    government as a terrorist organization.  But I cannot tell
    you everything that is going to be done on that topic; no
    commander, in fact, reveals what he is going to do.  But we
    are aware that we have a commitment in this regard.
    Naturally, we also have some priorities and commitments of
    our own:  At the head of these come holding the elections in
    Iraq, a political system starting to function, and the
    establishment of an Iraqi army.  We are going to accomplish
    all of these, and the restructuring of Iraq, with our Iraqi
    partners."

    We can translate this as follows:  There is no possibility
    of a military intervention against the PKK presence in Iraq
    prior to 30 January.  And there are problems afterwards as
    well.  Because the Kurds have to contribute in order to keep
    Iraq together and establish a unified Iraqi army.  Not only
    the Iraqi Kurds, but the Arabs as well are opposed to a
    military operation against the PKK.  The fact that Iraqi
    Deputy Foreign Minister Hamid al-Bayati, in the security
    meeting the day before yesterday, asked the Turkish side
    whether or not it was considering an amnesty for the PKK
    militants in the mountains showed this.  And perhaps it
    would be useful for Ankara to re-assess whether or not the
    only way to combat the PKK presence in Iraq is a military
    approach, and to explain this to the public.

    But it is clear that, for the United States, the Iraq
    priorities are the 30 January elections and then afterwards
    the establishment of a National Assembly, a government, and
    an army with the broadest participation possible.  Abizaid
    said that "Turkey's support and the example that Turkey
    provides are of key importance for the future of Iraq."
    Well, then, what does he mean by Turkey's support?  One
    dimension is military.  Included within this is greater use
    of Incirlik.  Abizaid said "There has been no new request in
    terms of Incirlik, and I did not come to Ankara with any new
    request."  He continued:  "I reminded [Turkish officials] of
    our earlier request to be able to make greater use of
    Incirlik.  Your government may reconsider this.  We would
    like to use Incirlik as a logistical center for Iraq and
    Afghanistan.  In this way, more aid and equipment could be
    transported by air."

    The political support that the United States expects from
    Turkey in terms of Iraq is more important.  Abizaid
    explained as follows:  "The Iraqi insurgents' target is the
    Sunni Arabs.  Because they have no chance of influencing or
    winning over the Shi'ites or the Kurds.  The insurgents get
    their strength from two sources:  One is the former
    Ba'thists, and former military and intelligence personnel;
    the other is the [Abu Musab] Al-Zarqawi group.  And it's
    because they have been unable to influence the Shi'ites and
    the Kurds that they are concentrating the pressure on the
    Sunnis.  The Sunnis' participation in the elections, and in
    the political process in general, may be relatively lower
    than that of the other groups.  So if Turkey could
    contribute in convincing the Sunnis to take part in the
    political process, we would be very grateful."   It is clear
    that this topic also came up during the meeting that Abizaid
    had with Foreign Minister Gul.

    Abizaid spoke as follows regarding the concerns that, after
    elections, Iraq may split up, as well as the Kurdish
    leaders' efforts to lay claim to Kirkuk:  "Kirkuk is no
    doubt a difficult political problem.  No one should try to
    resolve this problem by force.  Kirkuk, just like Baghdad,
    Basra, and Mosul, is an Iraqi city.  The United States
    opposes the establishment of a separate Kurdish state in
    Iraq.  We want Iraq to be established as one united country.
    The elections will not be elections of the Sunnis, or of the
    Shiites, or of the Kurds, or of any other group.  They will
    be elections of the Iraqis.  An elected government will
    replace the delegated government.  And the new
    administration will resolve the problems in Kirkuk inherited
    from the Saddam Hussein regime, as well as the other
    problems."

    There was another aspect in Abizaid's meetings that did not
    draw much attention:  Afghanistan, and, in general, the
    United States' expectations of Turkey in the global context.
    It would be useful to recount Abizaid's words:  "We ascribe
    importance to Turkey's taking over the command of the NATO
    force in Afghanistan.  Its contribution to Afghanistan via
    NATO is an important factor of stability, not just in that
    country but in Central Asia as well.  The United States is
    waging a global war against terrorism, and it has to act
    together with Turkey in this war.  Even if there are some
    differences experienced at the tactical level, we are on the
    same line on the strategic level.  It's for this reason
    important that the lines of communication between the two
    countries be kept open."

    From these words, one can draw the following conclusion:
    With the Iraqi elections, the United States' regional
    policies will enter into a new phase (and in a way that is
    not limited just to Iraq).  In this phase, increased
    political and military cooperation in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
    Central Asia may be requested.  When the ups and downs of
    the Turkish-US relationship over the past two years are
    taken into account, this [situation] indicates that new
    sources of tension stand before us.  Abizaid was working to
    lay the groundwork, so that the errors that were made in the
    Iraq crisis are not repeated.

    "Iraq Elections"
    Yilmaz Oztuna observed in the conservative "Turkiye" (1/13):
    "General Abizaid's visit is related to the Greater Middle
    East Project, and he most likely told Ankara what role has
    been designed for Turkey in this initiative.  The elections
    in Iraq will not bring stability.  The Sunni Arabs do not
    want an election.  Therefore, the results will only
    emphasize Kurdish supremacy in the north and Shiite
    supremacy across the country.  All of this is enough to
    incite civil war and chaos, despite Washington's hope for
    peace and stability. . The US is very likely to launch a
    campaign against Syria.  It will also do its best to end the
    Iranian nuclear capacity. It is also likely that a
    Palestinian and Israeli agreement will not be finalized. .
    The Middle East will eventually see a better and more
    peaceful period, but not in this lifetime."

    "The US Insistence on Incirlik "
    Mustafa Balbay wrote in the social democratic-opinion maker
    "Cumhuriyet" (1/13): "There are increasing numbers of
    visitors from the US, including Deputy Secretary Armitage,
    USNATO Commander Jones, and CENTCOM Commander John Abizaid.
    Yet there is a reason behind this immense interest about
    Turkey.  . The US might make some demands from Turkey right
    after the Iraqi elections.  American officials, General
    Abizaid included, are well aware that the elections will not
    bring stability to Iraq.  Therefore, the US wants to use
    Incirlik airbase more effectively.  The European media has
    started reporting about the US plan to relocate its troops
    overseas.  The US already has started negotiations with
    Bulgaria to establish a new base.  The US insistence on the
    use of Incirlik probably stems from another intention --  to
    keep Turkey under better control."

    "Turkey-US Relations"
    Cuneyt Ulsever commented in the mass appeal "Hurriyet"
    (1/13): "Given the current picture, the relationship between
    Turkey and the US might seem to be stumbling due to
    differences over the Iraq issue and PKK terrorism.  . But
    circumstances are forcing a better alliance between Turkey
    and the US.  Turkey cannot be successful by itself in the
    fight against terrorism.  The security and energy policies
    of the US throughout the region require a working
    relationship between Ankara and Washington.  The elimination
    of the PKK in northern Iraq also calls for close cooperation
    between the two. . On the other hand, the US will also
    benefit from smoothing its relations with Turkey.  A good
    working US relationship with Turkey will facilitate the
    political process in the new Iraq as well as a solution to
    the Palestinian problem.  Turkey's location, its relations
    with regional countries, including Israel, and the EU can
    serve US interests.  Turkey is also the only reliable and
    stable US ally in the Middle East. . Given these facts,
    let's hope that Turkish-US relations can return to the good
    old days."
