    BRIEFING

    Azerbaijani Elections:  "Cumhuriyet" on Sunday reported that
    opposition parties in Azerbaijan had their offices raided
    and representatives arrested following an election campaign
    that took place in an atmosphere of tension.  `The elections
    in Azerbaijan, where corruption is rife and some 40 percent
    of the population lives in poverty, are being closely
    monitored by international oil companies, the United States,
    and Russia,' the report says.  The article quotes State
    Department Spokesman Sean MacCormack on the importance of a
    fair election which, he stressed, would strengthen ties
    between Baku and Washington.  The Azerbaijani election
    commission told the press on Sunday that the ruling party
    had won more seats than any other party, but added that many
    seats had also been won by independent candidates.  Monday's
    reporting suggested that the new parliament would be
    dominated by supporters of President Aliyev, and highlighted
    opposition claims of voting fraud.  The reports claimed that
    the opposition may call for people to take to the streets on
    Tuesday.

    Turkish `Secret Constitution' on Iraq, Iran, Syria, Cyprus:
    "Hurriyet" reported on Saturday that Turkey's National
    Security Policy Document, the so-called Turkish `secret
    constitution' discussed at the latest National Security
    Council (NSC) meeting, includes the following statements

    ANKARA 00006585  002 OF 005

    about Iraq and Iran:  `The protection of Iraq's territorial
    and political integrity is important for all countries in
    the region.  Long-term steps toward the  establishment of an
    independent Kurdish state will cause serious problems.
    Tehran's continuation of its nuclear program beyond
    humanitarian purposes will pose a threat to Turkey.  Iran's
    work on the Shahab 4 and Shahab 5 missiles following the
    production of Shahab 3 with a range of 1000-1300 km is
    noteworthy.'  The Document also says that developments in
    Syria are being `monitored.'  On Cyprus, the document
    underlines the importance of finding a `lasting and feasible
    solution' that will be `acceptable for both sides' on the
    divided island.  The document also states that Cyprus is of
    `first degree' importance to Turkey's security, adding that
    Ankara will not renounce its rights over the disputed
    island.

    Edelman Allegedly Involved in the Libby `Scandal':  "Yeni
    Safak" on Saturday carried a story by Turkey's Ihlas News
    Agency (IHA) from Washington, alleging that former US
    Ambassador to Turkey, Eric Edelman, may have met with Lewis
    Libby in 2003, when Edelman was an advisor to VP Cheney,
    about the leaked identity of a CIA operative.  Edelman told
    a Congressional hearing earlier this year that he had no
    involvement in the issue, but the report suggests that
    Edelman's testimony may have been based on advice from
    `other authorities.'  The report notes that there have been
    no accusations made against Edelman.

    PKK Opens Office in Baghdad:  The PKK has opened an office
    in Baghdad despite opposition by Iraqi President Jalal
    Talabani and Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leader Massoud
    Barzani, weekend papers report.  The office, which is
    protected by 15 PKK militants, was opened under the guise of
    the Iraqi Democratic Solution Party.  A grainy photograph
    carried by may papers shows an Iraqi flag at the office
    flying side by side with what is alleged to be a PKK flag.

    Greek PM Karamanlis Puts Off Turkey Visit:  Greek Prime
    Minister Costas Karamanlis has put off his visit to Turkey
    that had been planned for November, weekend papers report.
    Citing Greek press reports, the media claims that Karamanlis
    will not visit Turkey in November, but will reschedule his
    visit for `an appropriate time.'  Greek papers speculated
    that the visit was postponed due to Turkey's policy against
    the recognition of Cyprus and statements by Turkish
    officials on that issue.  The Greek press also speculated
    that Ankara's stance against Greek Orthodox Patriarch
    Bartholomew I had been influential in the decision to
    postpone the visit.  Turkish diplomatic sources told
    "Kathimerini" that they still expect the visit to take place
    before the end of the year, claiming that they have received
    assurances to that effect from the Greek government.  The
    sources implied that Turkey would be extremely displeased by
    an indefinite postponement.  Karamanlis would be the first
    Greek Prime Minister to visit Turkey in the last 46 years.

    Bryza Reiterates US Support for Lifting of Sanctions on
    North Cyprus:  In an evaluation of Turkish Cypriot president
    Mehmet Ali Talat's visit to the US at a conference at
    Washington's Georgetown University, Deputy Assistant
    Secretary of State Matt Bryza said the way forward is the

    SIPDIS
    reunification of Cyprus through the removal of sanctions
    against Turkish Cypriots, Turkish wire services report on
    Monday.
    Bryza said that Talat's visit to the US in late October had
    been `a very big step forward.'  Bryza described Talat's
    meeting with Secretary Rice as `constructive, strategic, and
    visionary.'  `Let's move beyond the slogans.  We should do

    ANKARA 00006585  003 OF 005

    our best to integrate the Turkish Cypriots into Europe and
    the world,' Bryza said.

    Talat Displeases Ankara:  Weekend papers report that Turkish
    Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat displeased Ankara by
    scrapping the tradition of celebrating the Ramadan holiday
    with a joint reception with political and military
    representatives from Turkey.   Turkish Cypriot Peace Forces
    Commander Hasan Memisoglu declined to take part in Talat's
    program, and held a separate celebration attended by former
    Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktas.  Asked about his
    decision to hold the reception alone, Talat said that "it
    would be wrong to create the impression that this country is
    not actually ruled by elected officials but by others.  This
    would be detrimental to our cause.  We must show the rest of
    the world that there is democracy in Turkish Cyprus.'

    Constitution Gives the PKK Asylum Rights in Iraq:  Ahmet
    Muratli, Ankara representative of the Iraqi Turkmen Front,
    wrote a letter to President Sezer claiming that Article 22
    of the recently accepted Iraqi Constitution gives the PKK
    the right to seek political asylum in Iraq, Sunday's
    "Hurriyet" reported.  Article 22 forbids asylum-seekers from
    being forcibly deported which, according to Muratli,
    prevents PKK terrorists from being extradited to Turkey if
    they are captured in Iraq.  Muratli also voiced doubt that
    the Iraqi Turkmen will preserve their identity if an
    independent Kurdish state is formed.

    Barzani Flies to US via Turkey:  Friday's "Vatan" reported
    that Iraqi Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leader Massoud
    Barzani flew to Washington via Turkey after US officials
    decided that Turkey would be the safest route for the
    Kurdish leader.  The report claims that a small plane
    carrying Barzani landed at Incirlik Air Base on October 23,
    and that he was treated as a guest for a short time by
    Turkish soldiers at the base before departing for Washington
    on a largeer US military plane.  The report notes that in
    2002, Barzani refused to attend a gathering of Iraqi
    dissidents held in the United States because he would have
    had to fly via Turkey.

    MP Asks If Turkey Handed Over Terror Suspects to the US:
    Ahmet Guryuz Ketenci, a lawmaker from Istanbul, asked Prime
    Minister Tayyip Erdogan in a statement whether some
    individuals were handed over to the CIA without
    interrogation, dailies reported over the weekend.  Ketenci
    said that a report broadcast by Swedish State Radio claimed
    that Turkish security captured terror suspects sought by the
    United States in operations inside and outside of Turkey,
    and turned them over to the CIA without an interrogation.
    `It is known that a CIA plane that took off from Istanbul
    Airport on March 7, 2005 and flew to the US after stopping
    at Copenhagen and Reykjavik.  The plane stayed on the ground
    for 23 hours at Copenhagen Airport.  In addition, "The
    Washington Post" alleged that the US has set up secret
    prisons in some east European countries.  Turkey may face
    very serious charges in international platforms in the
    coming days,' Ketenci said.  Ketenci added that he will
    submit a motion in parliament requesting an explanation from
    PM Erdogan.  Ketenci asks if the CIA plane that landed in
    Istanbul on March 7 picked up any `passengers' from Turkey,
    and if Turkish security agencies acting as `subcontractors'
    of the US captured individuals and handed them over to the
    CIA.

    Cicek Criticizes Denmark for Not Banning Kurdish TV:
    Justice Minister Cemil Cicek strongly criticized Denmark for
    not canceling the license of Copenhagen-based Roj TV, the

    ANKARA 00006585  004 OF 005

    Kurdish broadcaster that Turkey claims is a mouthpiece of
    the outlawed PKK organization.  `Denmark has been stalling
    on our request to close a TV station that supports ethnic
    terrorism.  This contravenes EU legislation,' Cicek charged
    during a visit to Stockholm.  Ankara says that Roj TV has
    been inciting hatred and fear by expressing support for the
    PKK in broadcasts that began in March 2004.  A Danish radio
    and TV watchdog ruled earlier this year that Roj TV programs
    did not violate Danish law, but added that it had asked
    police to look into alleged ties between the broadcaster and
    the PKK.  Turkey has previously succeeded in ensuring the
    closure of two other Europe-based Kurdish TV stations
    believed to have links to the PKK.  MED-TV had its license
    revoked in the UK, while France refused to grant a license
    to its successor, MEDYA-TV.

    Erdogan on Ethnic Unrest in France:  Monday papers report
    that Prime Minister Erdogan said that unrest in France had
    been triggered by the headscarf ban enforced in French
    schools.  `A year and a half ago I warned the French that
    they were fueling divisions between Christians and Muslims.
    I stressed that Turkey's EU entry is the only way to prevent
    a possible clash of civilizations.  Unfortunately, our
    warning was ignored,' Erdogan said.  Erdogan emphasized that
    the unrest in France has demonstrated the importance of the
    need to build an `alliance of civilizations.'

    Report on Displaced People in Turkey:  A report by the
    Turkish Foundation for Economic and Social Research (TESEV)
    said that the number of displaced people in Turkey had
    reached on million, and that many migrant families force
    their children to work for survival, Monday's "Radikal"
    reports.  The academics that prepared the report said the
    population of the mainly Kurdish southeastern cities of
    Hakkari and Diyarbakyr had increased more than two-fold as a
    result of migration, underlining the fact that the cities
    had failed to cope with the rapid increase.  They noted that
    projects seeking to encourage a return to villages are not
    advancing smoothly, and that state support is not sufficient
    to revive life in evacuated villages.

    Economic Situation Deteriorating in Southeast Turkey:  In
    2005, 246,000 people requested assistance form the
    Governor's Office in Diyarbakir, the mainly Kurdish
    southeastern province which has been turned into a `city of
    refugees,' "Radikal" reported on Saturday.  Ongoing
    fighting, unemployment, and economic problems in the
    southeast over the last 15 years have forced the people to
    live on public assistance.  A substantial proportion of the
    population of Mardin, Hakkari, Batman, Bitlis, Sanliurfa,
    Adiyaman, Sirnak, and Siirt lives on assistance received
    from governor's offices and municipalities.   Official
    figures indicate the unemployment rate in Diyarbakir is 14
    percent, though other indicators show that the real figure
    is probably closer to 50 percent.

    Minority Assets in Turkey:  The EU Commission Accession
    Partnership Document on Turkey to be released on November 9
    contains recommendations that would open the way for
    minorities to claim their properties in Turkey or to ask for
    compensation, Monday papers report.  Papers claim that the
    inclusion of this subject in the accession partnership
    document will constitute a legal ground for Greeks to demand
    compensation from Turkey for confiscated property.

    EDITORIAL OPINION:  France

    "The Paris Lesson"

    ANKARA 00006585  005 OF 005

    Gungor Mengi wrote in the mass appeal "Vatan" (11/7): "There
    is concern that the flames in Paris might create a chain
    reaction and spread throughout all of Europe.  In fact the
    reasons behind the rage felt by minority groups in France
    are equally valid in other European nations such as Germany,
    Belgium, and Holland. . The West, which has caused anger and
    violence in occupied Iraq, is now seeing a similar situation
    erupt in Paris.  As Eric Marliere, a French sociologist,
    noted, a reaction becomes inevitable when no jobs and
    services available and discrimination exists.  The European
    Commission's report on racism has already concluded that
    there is discrimination against immigrants.  In other words,
    the current uprising is not a surprise. . French Interior
    Minister Sarkozy is not responsible for these events, but he
    will be the one who gets the blame if he refuses to step
    down.  A gesture from the French goverment would be
    sufficient to get the immigrant to stop the violence.  If
    the French system isists on protecting Sarkozy, it will
    only hel the radical Islamist organizations that are
    dreaming to abuse the feelings of the Muslim minority."

    "Paris and 1968"
    Rahim Er commented in the conservative "Turkiye" (11/7):
    "Paris is not only an international fashion center.  Paris
    can also be a center for events that spread around the
    world, like the events of 1968.  Although Paris is one of
    the major centers of western civilization, this civilization
    is currently producing anger and poverty that speaks to the
    serious economic divide in France.  . Paris has its
    Africans, New York has its blacks, and London has its
    Pakistanis.  This list could be expanded, but it is enough
    to illustrate the gap that exists between glamor and
    poverty.  The West is preparing itself for a conflict of
    civilizations."

    "Paris Ablaze"
    Zafer Atay wrote in the economic-political "Dunya" (11/7):
    "The residents of the areas where the unrest began are
    mainly Muslim immigrants from northern Africa and the former
    colonies of France.  The unemployment rate in these areas is
    30 percent -- three times higher than the national rate.
    People live in poorly constructed housing blocks, many
    without running water or heating.  They suffer continuous
    electricity cuts.  Their garbage is not collected.  The
    schools their children attend are far below French
    standards.  The youth in this area have two choices - to
    sell drugs or join criminal gangs.  . While they attack
    Turkey at every opportunity for violations of human and
    minority rights, French parliamentarians haven't even
    stopped by Clicy-Sous-Bois, where the violence started.  We
    don't believe that Madame Mitterand, who criticized Turkey
    so harshly in the past, even knows the way to the suburbs of
    Paris.  Already, some are characterizing these incidents as
    a civil war and expecting the French military to intervene."
