SÖYLEDİKLERİ VE YAZDIKLARI<br />

envisages for independent MP’s to ha<strong>ve</strong> a country-wide 3% vote<br />

a<strong>ve</strong>rage in order to be elected. This unusual law will bring to an<br />

end the short career of two minority MP's at the next election.<br />

Sixthly, the minority being Muslim is different from the<br />

Christian majority. But, they cannot elect their own muftis who are<br />

appointed by the go<strong>ve</strong>rnment of Christian creed. This is a most<br />

unusual practice ne<strong>ve</strong>r seen in any part of the world.<br />

There are many other discriminatory measures which make<br />

e<strong>ve</strong>ryday life miserable, such as construction permits. Traffic<br />

licenses etc…<br />

I will not elaborate the e<strong>ve</strong>nts of 29 January 1990 during which<br />

200 shops belonging to minority members were destroyed and 40<br />

of them beaten by organized mobs in front of the police.<br />

Responsibles ha<strong>ve</strong> not been apprehended and indemnity has not<br />

been paid up to now.<br />

A last point, it is customary to mention the geographic names in<br />

the language of the country concerned. Therefore, Constantinople,<br />

Tenedos and Imbros should be changed as Istanbul, Bozcaada and<br />

Gökçeada in the report.<br />

Thank you.<br />
