Among the participants at the conference are speakers
from Egypt, tne European Community, France; Germany,
Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza Strip,
Syria, Turkey, Britain and the United States.
The conferènce, the first of its kind in Turkey, aims to review
the possibilities of cooperation on the subject of cross
boundary waters.
While welcoming the conference as "an important contribution
to the understanding of this vital issue," Turkish officials
have nevertheless distanced themselves from the
gathering, saying the views expressed there do not necessarily
represent the views of the Turkish Government, and
are not, therefore, binding for Ankara.
The issue of attending the conference has also caused
some controversy'among Arab countries who are disturbed
by the presence of Israel.
But Syria and Jordan, the most likely two countries to be
disturbed most by this fact, have sent r~presentatives to the
conference. . .
Iraq was the only country that did not have any representation
when the three day gathering opened on Tuesday.
The conference's organizers do not expect a late Iraqi participation
at this stage.
ANAP executives
insist tank fired on
house of Agrl deputy
• Fact-finding mission claims
PM covering up for incident
Turkish Daily News
ANKARA~ Senior executives of Turkey's main opposition
Motherland Party (ANAP) repeated claims on
Tuesday that tanks had opened fire on the house of a
party deputy and said an officiaI statement issued earlier
by the prime ministry on the issue was bending the
truth.
AN~ deputy chairrn'an Hasan Kork'!lazcan told.reporters
m Parhamentthat a fact-findmg delegatIOn
which.visited Agn's Dogubeyazit town had concluded
that a tank had fired on the house and caused damage.
As the son of the house's original owner, ANAP
Agn deputy Y~ar Erydinaz saidm a separate address
to his group that his family had been loyal tothe state
for years and that there were no supporters of the Kurdistan
Workers Party (PKK) among them.
Eryllmaz's announcement came in reply to a statement
by the Prime Ministry which claimed last week
that a tank had fired two salvos on the house and a
nearby building only after separatist militants opened
fire on military barracks from inside.
This statement, said ANAP's acting group chairman
Oltan Sungurlu --also a former Justice Minister-- has
given more damage (to Turkey) than the tanks openmg
fire on houses.
Sungurlu argued that the government was insisting
on mistaken practices in the region. .
ANAP deputies Mehmet Seven and Ali Keinal
Ba~aran told the party's parliament group Tuesday
morning that they bad established there was no clash
with security forces, as claimed by the government.
They said no one had fired from inside the house.
Sungurlu argued that the official statement on the issue
aimed at falsifying the statements of Mesut
Yllmaz "and do not reflect the truth."
