    BRIEFING

    New Pope Ratzinger Raises Concern Among Turks:  All papers
    give extensive coverage to the election of Cardinal Joseph
    Ratzinger of Germany as the new pope.  The new pope's
    opposition to Turkey joining the European Union could raise
    obstacles to Turkish EU membership, according to the
    reports.  The `anti-Turkish' Pope earlier said that the
    Turks should form a union with Arab countries instead of
    seeking membership in the EU.  He is among the backers of
    the concept a `privileged partnership' for Turkey that would
    fall short of full membership.  A news commentary in "Zaman"
    says that if the Vatican were to join France, Austria,
    Denmark, and the Netherlands in opposition to Turkey, it
    would send the wrong message not only to Turks but to all
    Muslims.

    Turkey to Buy Military Drones From Israel:  Turkey is set to
    buy 10 military drone airplanes and ground stations from
    Israel at a cost of 183 million USD in a deal reached ahead
    of a fence-mending visit to Israel by Prime Minister
    Erdogan.  The visit is scheduled for early May.  A joint
    venture between two Israeli firms, Israel Aircraft
    Industries (IAI) and Elbit, was awarded the contract for the
    10 aircraft, surveillance equipment, and ground control
    stations, Turkey's undersecretariat for defense industries
    said in a statement on Tuesday.  The Israelis are to finish
    their part of the project within 24 to 30 months, according
    to the statement.  A report in "Hurriyet" claims that the
    Turkish military had rejected the US-produced `Predator' in
    favor of the Israeli option.  "Vatan" adds that the deal
    with the Israelis could eventually be expanded to include
    between 30-40 unmanned aircraft.

    Shalom Supports Turkey on Armenian `Genocide' Claims:
    "Cumhuriyet" reports that Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan
    Shalom met with `influential figures' in Jewish
    organizations in the United States to seek support for
    Turkey against the Armenian `genocide' campaign in the US.
    Shalom reportedly asked the Jewish organizations to block a
    possible approval by the US Congress of a resolution on
    claims of `genocide,' which may damage the `special
    relationship' between the US, Israel, and Turkey.
    Diplomatic sources said that the `mood' in Congress is `not
    positive' due to the March 1 rejection by Turks of the
    deployment of US troops through Turkey to Iraq, and because
    of strong criticism against the US by PM Erdogan.
    "Cumhuriyet" believes that the Armenian lobby will push the
    Congress until the last minute for approval of a `genocide'
    resolution.  In a report from Washington, "Milliyet" quotes
    American Armenian Assembly (AAA) chairman Anthony Barsamian
    as saying he does not expect President Bush to use the word
    `genocide.'  Barsamian added, however, that the President
    will come closer to recognizing the `genocide' claim than he
    has in the past.  Barsamian said he remains hopeful that the
    US Congress will approve a `genocide' resolution this year.
    "Milliyet" notes that a `genocide' resolution could come to
    the fllor of Congress for a vote even after the Armenian
    commemoration on April 24.

    Bill on Incirlik Airbase Submitted to Council of Ministers:
    A bill corresponding to the US request for a wider use of
    Incirlik Airbase was been submitted to the Council of
    Ministers for approval on Monday, papers report.  The bill
    would extend the duration of the existing regulation that
    allows the use of Incirlik by coalition forces for
    humanitarian purposes.  Papers expect the bill to be
    finalized according to the outcome of the vote in the US
    Congress on Armenian `genocide' claims.

    Ankara Briefs US, Israel, EU on Sezer's Syria Visit:  The
    Turkish Embassy in Syria briefed EU ambassadors, and the
    Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) briefed US and Israeli
    Ambassadors in Ankara on the results of the recent visit to
    Syria by President Sezer to Syria, papers report.  The Turks
    said the main topics of Sezer's meetings in Damascus had
    been domestic reforms and Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon.
    They insisted that Sezer had conveyed to President Assad the
    message from the international community on the need to pull
    out of Lebanon.

    Turkish Detainee Freed From Guantanamo:  A 24-year-old
    Turkish man, Salih Uyar, who spent over three years in
    Guantanamo on suspicion of ties to Al-Qaeda was released and
    sent to Incirlik air base in southern Turkey.  Uyar was then
    freed by a local prosecutor for lack of evidence, but was
    ordered to be handed over to the Turkish military for draft
    evasion.  The Turkish media reports that two other Turkish
    citizens are still being held in Guantanamo.

    Investigation Shows Villagers Killed by Security Forces in
    1994:  The Prosecutor's office in Diyarbakir said Tuesday
    that no evidence had been found to support claims by Turkish
    security forces that 38 people were killed by PKK terrorists
    in two villages in Turkey's southeastern province of Sirnak
    in 1994.  The prosecutor told the press that the villagers
    had been killed by bombs that had `fallen' from planes and
    helicopters.  A local villager told "Milliyet" that the two
    villages had been bombed by Turkish security forces after
    the villagers refused to become village guards.

    Erdogan Due in Afghanistan:  Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan
    will depart for Afghanistan early Wednesday, papers report.
    In Kabul, the Turkish Prime Minister will call on President
    Karzai, former king of  Afghanistan Mohammad Zakir Shah, the
    ISAF command, and the Turkish community in Kabul.

    World Bank Report Shows `Unfair' Wealth Distribution in
    Turkey:  "Vatan" carries a World Bank report showing that
    income disparity in Turkey is much greater than previously
    thought.  The poorest 10 percent (seven million Turks)
    receive only 2.3 percent of national income (6.9 billion
    USD), while the wealthiest 10 percent receive 31 percent
    (92.1 billion USD).
    AKP Lawmaker Quits Parliament:  Cemal Kaya, a deputy of the
    ruling AK Party, resigned hisparliamentary seat on Tuesday
    in order to defend himself against allegations of
    involvement in a corruption scandal related to contracts
    awarded by the Ministry of Energy.  Press reports suggest
    that Kaya resigned at the insistence of Prime Minister
    Erdogan.  The PM termed the resignation `appropriate.'  Kaya
    remains a member of AKP.

    Mersin Becomes a Center for Smuggled Fuel:  Turkey's
    southern port city of Mersin has become a center for
    smuggled fuel from Iraq, with 57 distribution companies now
    operating in the city, "Zaman" reports.  A parliamentary
    committee has learned that there is one gas station for
    every 300 cars in Mersin.  Smuggled fuel costs Turkey 3
    billion USD per year, according to the report.

    Harlem Boy's Choir Performs in Ankara:  On a first visit to
    Turkey, the Boy's Choir of Harlem gave an `exceptionally
    delightful' concert in Ankara on Monday and Tuesday, papers
    report.  Formed by Dr. Walter Turnbull, the Harlem Boy's
    Choir in considered to be among the most famous choirs in
    the history of American music, writes Turkey's leading daily
    "Hurriyet."  US and Israeli Ambassadors to Turkey, Eric
    Edelman and Pinhas Avivi were among the audience who gave
    the choir a standing ovation after the concert, says the
    paper.  US Embassy Ankara co-sponsored the choir's
    participation in the 22nd Ankara Music Festival.

    EDITORIAL OPINION: US Foreign Policy, Cyprus, AKP and
    Turkish Nationalism

    "Washington Plays with Fire"
    Rusen Cakir argued in the mass appeal "Vatan" (4/20): "The
    US collaborated with the totalitarian regimes of the Islamic
    world for years, and refrained from interfering in their
    domestic affairs.  In the aftermath of 9/11, the US
    administration decided to `drain the swamp' as part of its
    struggle against radical Islamist networks such as Al-Qaeda.
    . The essence of the US policy is to conquer hearts and
    minds to win the war against terrorism.  For this purpose,
    the US is advocating democracy, liberty, women's rights, and
    free market values in Islamic countries.  The establishment
    of direct links with opposition movements and NGOs that will
    pressure the rulers are part of this policy.  The approach
    is a product of the neo-cons in the US administration, who
    don't even mind that their project is portrayed as a kind of
    `democratic imperialism.'  Yet the general feeling in the
    Islamic world is different.  The Islamic world views the
    project as `imperialist,' and believes that the rhetoric
    about democracy is only a pretext.  The effect of this is
    that the more the US wants democracy in this region, the
    more anti-Americanism grows. . The neo-cons are nevertheless
    pleased because they consider the situations in Afghanistan,
    Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, and Kyrgyzstan as signs of
    their victory.  When the Red Army pulled out of Afghanistan,
    that was also interpreted as a triumph. But circumstances
    only helped the Taliban and Al-Qaeda to flourish there.
    Today, one cannot feel very sure about the possible
    consequences of spending more dollars in the name of
    democracy.  The Islamic world certainly needs reforms to
    greater democracy, freedom, and women's rights.  This will
    happen sooner or later.  But such developments cannot emerge
    through pressure, nor can they be bought with money.
    Democracy cannot flourish through help from outside."

    "Hope is there, Sign yet to come"
    Sami Kohen observed in the mass appeal "Milliyet" (4/20):
    "It seems that the whole world, including the UN, the US,
    the EU and Russia, is pleased with Mehmet Ali Talat's
    election as president. Talat is considered a realistic, pro-
    settlement leader.  Everybody is talking about increasing
    chances for a Cyprus settlement, and diplomats believe that
    the ball is now in Papadopoulos' court.  It remains to be
    seen whether the Greek Cypriot leader will be willing to
    take advantage of this enormous chance for a settlement, and
    whether the international community will seriously engage in
    the process.  Currently we can talk about hopes and
    expectations, but concrete signs of progress have yet to
    come. .. There is a direct link between the stance of the
    Greek Cypriot leadership and the level of determination
    within the international community.  So far, such a
    determination has not been seen.  The UNSYG awaits a call
    from both sides before taking action.  The UNSYG does not
    want to force Papadopoulos even though his current stance is
    viewed as an obstacle.  The EU remains helpless.  The EU
    does not like Papadopoulous' position either, but has
    refrained from taking action that might help to change it.
    The US has been occupied with other priorities, namely Iraq,
    and Cyprus is not part of its immediate agenda.  Other
    international forces, including Russia, do not seem to have
    any intention of taking an active role.  Given the
    circumstances, it is up to Turkey's diplomatic skill to try
    to secure greater involvement by influential international
    players.  Talat is about to take some steps in this regard.
    If these steps come to nothing, there is little more that
    can be done."

    Erdogan: "Isn't There Any Province Besides Diyarbakir?"
    Muharrem Sarikaya wrote in the mainstream daily "Sabah"
    (4/20):  When Prime Minister Erdogan came out of the AKP
    group meeting yesterday, he shook our hands and drew us to
    one side.  `How's it going?' he asked.  We gave a clear
    answer: `things are fine with us, but how about you?  You
    said the EU is trying to divide Turkey.  Is there something
    happening that we aren't aware of?'  Erdogan gave the
    following answer: `You need to read that statement very
    carefully.  For us, the important thing is that we are
    carrying out our official contacts with EU officials.  There
    is no problem there.  But all of us also know about the
    negative behavior of some circles within the EU.  They come
    to Turkey and travel around from Ankara to Istanbul and
    Diyarbakir.  All of them go to Diyarbakir.  Isn't there any
    other province in Turkey besides Diyarbakir?  Is their
    intention really clear?'  When we asked the Prime Minister
    why his words had been misunderstood, he went after the CHP:
    `We have not taken a single step back from our EU goal.  We
    are focused in working toward October 3.  But the main
    opposition party has adopted a different position, as if the
    EU were not its goal.  They are saying senseless things,
    claiming we want to break off our relations with the EU.
    But since we are all agreed on our EU target, they shouldn't
    say these kinds of things or try to draw distinctions on
    that issue.'  When we noted that some had interpreted his
    words as an attempt to steer his policy toward nationalism,
    Erdogan responded in this way: `I am a nationalist.  But I
    have already announced the limits of my nationalism.  We
    will never, ever implement policies based on ethnic,
    regional, or religious nationalism.  These are our limits,
    and we will not make concessions.'  We later were chatting
    with Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul as he came out of the
    meeting.  We pointed out that the writer Ali Bulac had said
    the AKP is starting to slide toward a nationalist policy.
    Gul said he had read Bulac's statement, but added that
    `probably since he left us, Bulac has had difficulty in
    understanding what we are doing.'"
