ON THE DECISION OF EUROPEAN COURT

CONCERNING THE PKK AND THE KNK

AND
ON THE QUESTION OF KURDISTAN UNDER THE FRENCH PRESIDENCY

 



          In a few months France will take the presidency of the European Union. Many questions will be raised. The preparatory work and meetings for the presidency are underway. The decision to annul the European Court concerning the PKK and the KNK on the list of terrorist organizations must be implemented under the chairmanship of Mr President of the

French Republic Nicolas Sarkozy.


          First what is the legal value of this decision in relation to the legal grounds on the right to self-determination of the Kurdish nation? Then how can we explain that the statements of Abdullah Öcalan are in contradiction with these foundations. That is why Ocalan refuses the founding of the State of Kurdistan and integrates with inserts of the State colonialist and imperialist who made Turkish genocide of the Armenian peoples, Greeks, Assyrians and Kurds Chaldéennes? On behalf of Mr Ocalan who ridicules the struggle for freedom and independence of Kurdistan and bows before the colonialist Turkish defends the ideas and annexationist attache at the thought of anarchist Bakunin of Kropotkin, Immanuel Wallerstein and Bookclin? I think the statements of Ocalan are in contradiction on the one hand with the purpose of this judgement and European countries refuse the application and secondly why women and men who are in the guerrilla Kurdistan and leading the armed struggle against the Turkish army imperialist defend the same misconceptions non-revolutionary Ocalan?

 

            That is why as a first step we ask the French presidency in the international context and as a second step we will examine the international legal basis of a legal judgement and conditions of Jurisprudence of the application and in a third time we develop the policies of European states in the dynamics of geopolitics.


                 It is true that France, which with Austria, has pledged to hold a referendum on Turkey's accession to the EU, seems increasingly sceptical about the Turkish question. While President Chirac has been a strong supporter of Ankara's ambitions, the referendum on the European Constitution has updated the reserves of french general public. The President Nicolas Sarkozy is firmly opposed to Turkey joining the EU. He said that the EU was not simply an idea but a geographical entity and rejected Turkish membership. N. Sarkozy also added that Europe should suspend accession negotiations with Turkey and that it favours the other hand the establishment of a "privileged partnership". In 1998, Paris and Ankara signed an action plan introducing a strategic dimension in the Franco-Turkish relations. French companies are among the biggest investors in Turkey, although France is ranked as the 5th largest in terms of volume of investment. Turkey has exported goods to France for a value of 2.12 billion U.S. dollars (1.75 billion euros) in 2002 while the value of its imports reached 1.76 billion U.S. dollars ( 1.45 billion euros). The French are the 4th largest contingent of tourists visiting Turkey each year. Meanwhile, very far-right anti-Islamist has made significant progress on the French political scene.


        On April 3, 2008 when the Seventh Chamber of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities annulled the decision of the Council of Europe which brought the PKK and the National Congress of Kurdistan on the list of terrorist organizations at the request of USA . President of the Republic Nicolas said, "This is the first time that I have the honour to speak before the Atlantic Council. I know that the relations of France with the Atlantic Council have not always been allayed. Many said that France called for others what it did not itself. Let me clarify this and take my responsibilities. The effort to defend France, does not fall irrespective of the budgetary difficulties. In today's world, lower our effort would be irresponsible. The Atlantic Alliance is our alliance: France is a founding member and one of its major contributors. I would like to thank President Bush for what he said. We need NATO and European defence. We need the USA and USA need strong allies. This opens the door for France to a strong renewal of its relations with NATO. I do not say here before say at me. I faces debates [...][1]


      It is true that ": France is one of its founding members and one of its major contributors" is not for nothing that France will send its military forces in Afghanistan. This is the colonial past of France also among others, it probably took its responsibility within NATO. But I think it is impossible to believe IN 'Afghanistan and the Near and Middle East have "a lawn of the White House." For in 1983 the U.S. President had stated that in 5 years the United States had provided training to Afghan anti-an aide of 218 million dollars. In July 1984 the U.S. Congress allowed the White House to allocate another 50 million dollars for these purposes. The truth is that Afghanistan is a hell created by the CIA and the Pentagon because of the revisionist policy of the USSR. It was NATO which has replaced the CIA in Afghanistan.

 

          In his message[2] President of the Republic Nicolas Sarkozy to Mr H. President Karzai said:
"We condemn in the strongest terms this heinous act committed by fanatics whose sole purpose is to call into question the progress that courageously, with the support of the international community, your country and its leaders are working to carry on path of stabilization, reconstruction and democratisation, "said Sarkozy." In the wake of decisions which I have recently taken to strengthen the french support Afghan forces (700 additional troops: ndlr) in their fight against terrorism and barbarism, I would like to assure you of the constant and firm commitment of France at your side, the service of freedom and security of the Afghan people, "said the president still french. .. "


   But who can condemn the military attacks whose dignity of the peoples of Afghanistan which is the subject? The question that arises is what is the future of Kurdistan under the French presidency in the light of the decision to cancel Court of First Instance of the European Communities and the purpose of Pierre Lelouche meeting with the Turkish authorities and then what are conclusions of the visit of President of the Commission Mr Jose Manuel Barroso in Turkey? And what will be the orientation sessions during the month of May 2008 within the European Parliament and how Europe will respect the decisions of its own courts? In the months of the future we will consider a policy of neo-liberal imperialism European or another new phase of European democracy? With the accession of Turkey to the EU armed forces of NATO or not participate in the war against the people of Kurdistan?


        In his statement at the summit Franco British Mr President Nicolas Sarkozy said that "The United Kingdom and France have agreed that both countries need more than ever act together, bilaterally, within the framework of the European Union and internationally to help organize globalization. Because globalization is the main feature of the global economy: it has created new opportunities for businesses and citizens, but it is also the source of new economic challenges, social, environmental and security. Prime Minister Brown and President Sarkozy agreed today that France and the United Kingdom would intensify their cooperation and contacts and work together in partnership to pioneer a position to make a global response to major challenges international. They decided to work together within the framework of initiatives concerning international institutions, foreign policy and defence, development, migration, climate change, energy and global prosperity, including through concrete answers. " [3]
            World public opinion knows that President Nicolas Sarkozy is against Turkey's access to the European Union and can be relatively agree with him on this policy, as I indicated in my open letter[4] to U.S. President Mr George W Bush the international legal spots that the United Nations must take on the implementation of the declaration of 1960 the condition of the oppressed nation of Kurdistan including the issue of genocide of Armenians and r ésolution of the national question and colonial West of Armenia. The question is to know under the French Presidency and the national question in colonial North Kurdistan and Armenia Western Will it be raised within the European Union and what will the response of U.S. and Turkey? If not, it is the policy of NATO in Mediterranean 'mare nostrum' will be implemented and in contradiction with the Project Prince Albert of Monaco.


  We believe that there are two phases of reality is the U.S. will seize the Security Council of the United Nations as a member for implementing the 1960 Declaration to the colonial conditions of Kurdistan and member of the Security Council will adopt the 'Implementation of the Declaration of the United Nations for an international legal solution to the national question and colonial in Kurdistan consequently the national question will be resolved fairly, or the UN will keep the political status quo classic on the national question UN keep still in absolute silence, this practice will mean the denial of International Law and the UN is an organization that denies and does not extradite its own resolutions. That is why as a first step we will examine the judgement by the European Court and international legal assessment, in a second phase we will discuss the European prospects of the French Presidency in another legal analysis and international visit Elysée delegate in Turkey and the visit of Mr Barroso and his speech to the Turkish Parliament.


  But what was the U.S. interest to ETA or the PKK on the list of terrorist organizations while the organizers of the terrorist attack against the USA was the business of CIA agents and Mr. BEN LADIN who was one Commissioners of the White House in the fight against communism, while the Movement of National Liberation of Kurdistan and the Basque Country have never targeted U.S. military bases in Kurdistan or in North Western Europe and that these are military bases available to the Turkish Army imperialist supported by the EU, NATO and the U.S. including Israel. But the defeat of the Army colonialist and imperialist Turkey in February 2008 facing resistance army of Kurdistan North is also the defeat of U.S. and NATO and Israel in some quarters Kurds who are in the dressing rooms massonics Kurd-I Jewish Shimon Perez in head exalted friendship Kurd-Jewish history in a sense of competition falsified. Among others, in the first place Abdullah Öcalan who has called brother of the dictator of Hafez El Essad and in 1995 published his name an anti-Semitic prepared by the Syrian secret[5] services and which has left all financial wealth PKK[6] in Syrian banks to the colonialist state of his brother Hafez El Essad that persecuting the people of South East Kurdistan. It must be remembered that this is Hafez who sent 3000 troops to Syrian Saddam in the fight against the Kurds in South Kurdistan and after his imprisonment Mr Ocalan has converted this time the official ideology fascist and colonialist state imperialist Turkish it presents itself as "Kemalism cultural nationalist.[7]" While Mustafa Kémal of Jewish origin was anti-Semitic. On 21 March during his meetings with his lawyers Ocalan said that "Hitler was created by the ideology of the Jews"[8] This ideology is imposed by the Jews according to German . The  reference of Ocalan is based on theories anarchists of Bakunin of Kropotkin and "Emmanuel Wallerstein who are its writers of Jewish origin .. In the balance of Kemalism Abdullah Öcalan denies the founding of the State of Kurdistan and is hostile to Judaism and the Jewish State without being aware that practice the same policy of the State of Israel; It is Israel, Turkey, Syria, Iran and the EU who are against the founding of the state of Kurdistan in the Middle East. For Ocalan "The federation or autonomy is not a solution"[9] he said "my initial programme was illusory. Turkey is our common homeland I am not the only homeland is divided, my goal is to help our country and strengthen our State "[10]

 

First, what are the commonalities between Ocalan and anarchists in particular its relationship with Bakunin and Kropotkin Emmanuel Wallerstein and Bookchin? Ocalan said he is against the founding of the State of Kurdistan and it is for a free Kurdistan, which is not a state. He said instead Marx I prefer Bakunin. Basically, the central idea at Bakunin is freedom, the supreme good that the revolutionary must seek at all costs. For him, unlike the thinkers of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, liberty is not an individual case but a social issue. Thus, in God and the state, he refuted Jean Jacques Rousseau: the noble savage, which sells its freedom from the moment he lives in society, never existed. On the contrary, is the fact that creates social freedom: "The freedom of others, far from being a limitation or denial of my freedom, is contrary to the requirement and confirmation. I do not really become free that the freedom of others, so that many more are free men around me and deeper and wider is their freedom, and broader, deeper and wider becomes my freedom. " True freedom is not possible without the de facto equality (economic, political and social). Freedom and equality can not find that, apart from the existence of a God outside the world or a state outside the people. The State Capital and God are the obstacles to be slaughtered. Bakunin said, "I am truly free only when all human beings around me, men or women, are also free. The freedom of others, far from being a limitation or denial of my freedom, is contrary to the requirement and confirmation. I do not become truly free by the freedom of others, so that many more are free men around me, and wider and wider is their freedom, broader and deeper becomes mine. Rather, the enslavement of others who pose a barrier to my freedom, or what is the same, that is their bestiality which is a negation of my humanity because, once again, I can not tell me truly free only when my freedom, or what means the same thing, when my dignity of man, my human right, which is to n'obéir to any man and did determine that my actions in accordance with my own convictions, thoughtful also by the free conscience of all, I return confirmed by the consent of everyone. My personal freedom and confirmed by the freedom of all extends to infinity ... "The hostility of Bakunin (and of course all anarchists to the State is final. He did not believe it is possible to use the State to carry out the revolution and abolish social classes . The State, including whether a state worker, including whether government scientists or "men of genius crowned with virtue", as he wrote during his polemic against Mazzini, is a system of domination which creates permanently its elites and its privileges. atheism of Bakunin also finds its basis in the pursuit of freedom for humankind: "God is, therefore man is slave. Man is free, so there is point of God. I challenge anyone to break this circle, and now choose. "Another important aspect of the thought of Bakunin concerns revolutionary action . Unlike Marxists who advocate the intervention of an avant-garde (the Party, for example) to guide the mass popular on the path of revolution, the organization bakouninienne, even if it is secret, only gives the right to support the revolt, encouraging, promoting self organization at the base. This design is not very different from that taken later by the anarcho union in mass organizations. If the Marxist attribute the industrial proletariat's role only class revolutionary him an opponent peasantry essentially reactionary, Bakunin on the contrary considers that only the union between the rural and industrial worlds is rich with potential revolutionary, anti-state revolt of the peasantry finding its complementarity in the spirit of discipline workers.


          On the question arises why Ocalan is hostile to Marx and why women in the guerrilla and leading the armed struggle denies the foundation of the State of Kurdistan while the initial goal of the armed struggle is to base state Free and independent Kurdistan. How Bese Simal and other women of Kurdistan will be free insofar as the revolution of Kurdistan does not destroy the State colonialist and imperialist Turkish and theories of philosophical studies on sites HPG are anti Marxist theories and anti materialistic and corroborating with an anarchist vision which women Kurds in the guerrillas deny the orientation of a slave dependency which is the source of the thought of Abdullah Öcalan.


           Contrary to the thinking of these Kurds committed to the vision of Ocalan anarchist thought of Karl Marx on freedom is sharp and clear. According to Marx "In fact, the realm of freedom begins only where one stops working by necessity and opportunity imposed from the outside it's found in nature beyond the sphere of material production itself . Just as primitive man must fight against nature to fill its needs, to remain alive and reproduce, civilized man is forced, too, to do so and to do whatever the structure of society and way of production. With its development also extends the field of natural necessity, because the needs are increasing, but at the same time expand the productive forces to meet them. In this area, the only possible freedom is that human social, producers associated rationally regulate their interaction with nature, they control the whole instead of being dominated by its power blind and they are doing these exchanges expending the minimum force and in the most dignified, most consistent with their human nature. But this activity will always be the realm of necessity.”[11] It is beyond that begins the development of human strengths as an end in itself, the true realm of freedom can not flourish as drawing on the other kingdom, on the other commodities, the need . But Ocalan is committed to the thought of Kropotkin which proposed an alternative vision of human and animal survival, surpassing the theories of "survival of the fittest" defended at the time by some social darwinistes such as Thomes Henry Huxley the writings the anarchist Murray Bookclin on social ecology and sociobiology. which brings a new vision of political and philosophical relationship between humans and the environment.
As Bookclin Ocalan defends the idea of libertarian municipalism.

 

 

            The Journal Yeni Ozgur Politika, which has published articles economist from Yale University, Emmanuel Wallerstein, who was exalted by the militants of the PKK as a theory of resolving political and economic issues.

 
           Deploring the use often erroneous concepts of globalization and world economy, the economist from Yale University, Emmanuel Wallerstein, has undertaken in recent years an in-depth study of the phenomenon of globalization, in order to give his definition of economy World According to him We live in a system that is the "historical capitalism" based on need without increasing modernity. Our world is inseparable from a capitalist development, which is why he describes the current economy 'capitalist world economy ": indeed, the three essential elements of such an economy are met, namely the division and the world organization of work, the polarization of economic activities at the state level and global, and the existence of economic relations between the basic political structures (states). Based on this definition, Emmanuel Wallerstein distinguishes capitalist world economy, in which we live, and a world empire or possible world that remains to be invented. His study of what he called "capitalist globalization" is based on three points: it looks first to the time frame of this phenomenon distinguishing cycles in economic development,. Meanwhile he studied in detail the beginnings and the historical development of the capitalist world economy in order to identify basic concepts. Finally, it paints a rather pessimistic assessment of the current situation, strongly criticizing the neo-classical theories and liberal.


           Emmanuel Wallerstein has followed the path of Braudel who attributes the paternity of this concept in The Modern World-System, the first of a series of three volumes published between 1976 and 1989 by Immanuel Wallerstein 7. S creation within the University of Binghamton (NY) one-Fernand Braudel Center, which will attract many researchers, more often qu'économistes sociologists and philosophers, historians and geographers, and brassera their skills to great strengthener symposia, seminars and various discussions. In this centre, whose activity has never wavered for twenty-five years, no structure similar to the frescoes braudéliennes will see the day, but will be many publications, singular or collective, which decline in many ways the concept of system World and a variety of examples will illustrate. As in addition to the University of Colorado - which has formed a solid team of anthropologists and civilisationnistes - Deputy its efforts to those of Binghamton, including publishing an interesting Journal of World-Systems Research 8, the global system has become an important reference for many U.S. research, from where it overflows, through symposia and journals, to many foreign universities 9.Beaucoup good grain is to glean in this work, producers also an abundant straw, but I think the concept of global system is not doing that enriched so inadequate, perhaps because Wallerstein has imported from the vintage braudélienne without decant its first impurities. Indeed, theorizing repeatedly recalled by Wallerstein remains faithful to the scheme braudélien - centre-periphery / semi-periphery - but does not specify what the semi-periphery, or what determines the climbs towards the centre or falls in periphery, apart from a few references to the uneven development of capitalism and its cyclical crises. While Wallerstein enriches its scheme of multiple considerations and often challenging on space and time as the global system module on the quasi-monopoly center on physical sciences, advanced technology and invention of Social Sciences, which is completely opposed to the thinking of Marx and Engels and that thought is supported by Abdullah Öcalan .. It is a fundamental contradiction of the political leaders of the PKK. One wonders why the USA which put on the list of terrorist organizations PKK completely defends capitalism and  pro American pro Kemalist ?

 

          Unlike the anti-Marxist thought Wallerstein I think” We must notice that the phrase "philosophy of science" is often used to name the ideas, the criterions and the principles used in the scientific processes. It is called "presupposition".

 

The study of the various scientific presuppositions is the subject of what we call "research on the foundations". This research used scientific methods such as axiomatization, the construction of models and so on... According to some authors (especially those who belong to the strict tradition of neopositivism) the only problems that can be posed about science are about the foundation. According to them the philosophy of science is a synonymous with the research on foundations. Only the adding knowledge is able to embrace the whole intelligible knowledge.

The second thought is based on Hegel's idea of foundation as a category of the system of the dialectical logic.

 

In Science of Logic Hegel analysed the rules and the basic categories of the dialectical logic and the theory oh knowledge. He developped the first system of the dialectical logic. The only law for Hegel is the law that unifies the law of gravity and the law of the celestial movement. The standardization of all the laws in the universal attraction is set down in itself. The universal attraction only reads that everything is different from everything, understanding thinks it has found a universal law which is able to tell the reality in its universality (5). By the way Hegel makes unification include in the conception of development even if he interpretes in an idealistic way the main three fields of the object of the human knowledge : the natural world (nature), the historical world (society and its history), the spiritual world (human thought). According to Hegel, foundation is a reflexion on essence, that is foundation is the real mediation between essence and oneself. Foundation is first the absolute foundation as basis in general ; but more precisely it is determined as form and material and it is given a content. As a basic connection it becomes external to itself and it goes to the conditional mediation.

 

Foundation presupposes a condition, but condition presupposes a foundation too. Things in themselves go to the existence thanks to the mediation of the conditional connection. Indeed this "unification in an only conception of development in the natural world as well as in the historical and spiritual world" is the foundation of the marxist thinking. It is composed of the dialectical materialism, the historical materialism, the political economy, the scientific doctrine of the society which has on one hand overturned the idealistic doctrine of Hegel and on the other hand it has developped a new conception of science classification.

 

So, according to Marx, philosophy can be fulfilled only by the abolition of the proletariat. With its triumph, the proletariat is nevertheless disappearing because of the birth of a society with no class and strictly human. For some people "this society is the real appropriation of the human essence by men and for men. It is the men return to themselves that 's to say to social men -it is a total and conscious return which concerns all the wealth of the former development." For the other, it is "a utopia in an anthropological structure of imaginary." But according to Marx this society will put an end to the antagonism between men and nature, between men, between the individual and species, between existence and essence, between negation and assertion of oneself, between liberty and necessity thanks to the application of science to production in the process of the scientific and technological development as a material basis for the realization of the scientific unification. This new conception of science classification developped by Engels is a logical generalization and the reflection of the historical process. Four principles are developped : the principle of the reflection of the nature stages according to which science classification reflects the development of the movement within a peculiar local phenomenon consisting in the successive changes of the various kinds of energy. Then there is the principle of the development of the movement and its substrat, according to which science classification is analysed in a set : first as the reflection of the successive stages of the nature history and  then as the natural science history. Then, as the history of the logically generalized and sumarized natural science, that's to say as the continuous development of the peculiar sciences.  So we've studied the various forms of the mechanical, kinetic, potential and electrical energy from a macroscopic and a microscopic angle, and the caloric and biochemical energy and finally the nuclear energy.

 

With the study of Pauli's principles on the electrons, we've looked at the spectrum of the atoms of valency and we used the vector model for the atoms with two valencied electrons composed of four vectors of orbital momenta 11 and 12 and Spin momenta S 1 and S2. If in a low magnetic field, these vectors combine giving the vector of the total cinetical momentum of the atom J, so, we may find the basic structure of science classification from the elements of the regularity of the atomical spectra of the periodic classification.

 

This process gets universalized, science becomes a direct transforming and productive force and it exerts an influence on natural science as well as on social science. We replace the vector L (natural science) with the vector S (social science) and the quantum number J (unity of all the sciences). In order to note a better interaction between philosophical science and natural science and between social science and technical science, we'll take into account the basic interactions between the elementary particles of the nuclear physics that on one hand aims at integrating all the scientific knowledge and on the other hand it aims at differentiating the scientific knowledge from techniques.

 

Considering physics, chemistry and biology as the foundation of the development and the differentation of the scientific branches in computer science, I've examined the peculiar sciences that reflect the forms of the substance and its movement envolving in an inconsistent way. The inconsistent characteristic of nature development is revealed in the splitting of nature with phenomenons that are both linked to natural factors, to the essence of the natural structure and to the nature of men and the society. By the way, we can clearly explain the correlation between physics and chemistry and between the transitive sciences. This correlation directly reflects the connections between the elementary particles and the nucleus and between the atoms and the molecules. The movement of the elementary particles (protons, neutrons, positrons, electrons, eutons, hadrons, mesons, leptons and so on...) is part of the subatomic physics andd the nuclear physics but the molecules forming the bodies are part of the molecular physics (superatomic). So, the way science is  arranged  corresponds to  -T   the onder of the developpment of the dısrete forms of substance.       Fınality,   -Fınalıty. Lıke the atoms, the  molecules  are  both part of chemistry and physıcs .As far as physıcs is concened, the order of the development of the -substance. Finally, like the atoms, the of chemistry and physics. As far as molecules are anything but a complex system and the result of the atomic interaction. As far as physics is concerned, molecules are initial "cells" producing the logical aggregates. From this epistemological viewpoint we respond to the advocates of the metaphysical monist approach praising an only science in the field of computer science. The basic issue of natural science is linked to thedevelopment of the philosophical thought and to the rapid progress of all the branches of the fundamental research that more and more integrates the fundamental natural science, technical science and even social science. This integration makes the transformative function of science increase in the command of the natural forces and it changes science into a direct productive force. Finally it allows social science improving and strenghtening its organic connection with natural science. “[12]

 

The truth is that academic research carried out by Turkish researchers or academics in Turkey, even the USA, do not scientific character that represents the official state ideology, Kemalism, except the work of scientists Dr Ismail Besikçi according to the Turkish sociologist Dr. Besikçi "from the viewpoint of the interests of research, universities Turkish proclaim their support for the" oppressed peoples ",[13] while it is far from the truth. This aspect of the official ideology is taken for cash. Yet things are not simple. Apart from its scientific side, the problem also has an ethical side is as follows: critical reflections on Kurdistan and the question of "oppressed peoples" are liable to prosecution. Often those involved in these issues should be sent to prison. By cons, it gives all the moral and financial support for those who defend the official ideology built on lies. The government often uses trial court to stifle and suppress thoughts that criticise the official ideology. The universities, professors, writers and the press show no reaction. The problem is not discussed in Turkey from the standpoint of equal rights. Thus, even state policy is not criticized. It leaves any chance to develop some form of thought, ie the defence of the official ideology. Far from treating on an equal footing defenders of the scientific spirit, have been pressure on them and imprisoned. " (1) Because of its scientific research, Dr. Besikci was sentenced to twenty-six-year prison sentence and he served for seventeen years. Research scientist Dr Besikçi criticized the official ideology in Turkey namely Kemalism as it exercises its domination through the organs of the State which is an organization of a special military power in other words, it's l organization of violence for the oppressed peoples and the destruction of minorities. In this sense the State arming with the Turkish capital of OYAK and rearm with frenzy to wage war in Kurdistan and the Middle East with its allies in using the opportunities NATO's military to conduct a new division of Mesopotamia. On 10 May 1980, prison Toptasi Dr Besikçi wrote a letter to Ecevit, the leader of Turkish social democrats, who said "progressive" and "freedom fighter" when its policy in relation to Kurdistan does not distinguished that of Demirel (Head of the Party of Justice; Conservative) or Turkes (fascist party leader. It criticized in the letter the views of Ecevit and the attitude and racist conceptions of social democracy in Turkey.


             Faced with the war in Kurdistan, all universities in Turkey, research centres of Technology Laboratories Technical University Middle East (ODTU) and the Technical University (ITU), TUBITAK, Faculties of Fundamental Sciences and Social Sciences, institutes of technology and history are incorporated in the policy of the army. The Turkish press, the media are available to policy MGK (National Security Council) outside the country; doctoral research, presented by researchers demanding the Turkish commitment to the General Staff, so For Bozdemir, Mevlut, Michel (2-3) Unsaldi, Levent (4) Akagul Deniz (5), Semih Vaner, Kaleağası, Bahadır (6), Kemal Karpat, (7), Ergun Ozbudun, (8), Weiker Walter, (9) Metin Heper; (10) Ahmet Evin, (11) including Ahmet Insel; Artun Unsal, who have so-called academic activities, but advertising for the Turkish army, as instruments of a psychological warfare some of them are receiving assistance from the Turkish army and NATO.

The truth is that this research promote psychological operations in Turkey and the USA. "The most comprehensive study on psychological operations and the U.S. Department of Defense, The Art and Science of Psyhological of Operations: Brain Studies Of Militarys Application (two volumes; pamhlet No. 525-71; Washington, DC / Appril ) "Is a reality. "This study presents principles; doctrine, the organization which govern the action psychological USA; she studied in detail the relations with civil authorities and other military offices (including services and public relations); analysis conditions that promote the receptivity of the message (theories on the impact of mass communications); finally it considers Some case studies (American and foreign) "(12). In Turkey, the Center for Strategic Research of the Turkish General Staff use the activities of universities in the technological and military on the one hand and the psychological war in Kurdistan on the other. to deny the genocide of Armenians. The SAREM, Centre of Studies and Strategic Research at the State Arméees Major Forces of Turkey and includes academics sunventionne 129 foreigners and 800 Turks. It is a policy of militarization of science within NATO.

 
Since the advent of modern Turkey 85 years ago, a neo-colonialist and Islamist obtains an absolute majority in Parliament and therefore can only lead the country. Because of the current electoral law (which sets at 10% the percentage of votes required for a party between the Parliament), 45% of the 31 million voters will not be represented in the forthcoming Grand National Assembly of Turkey and 'Turkish army has intervened three times by force in civilian life that no there was no "direct military threat" This problem is also one of the reasons put forward by the leader of the Justice Party and development, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to explain the need to amend the Constitution. The People's Democratic Party (DEHAP), training pro-Kurdish collects and 6.5% of the votes at national level and will therefore not represented in Parliament when he won over 40% of votes in major cities in Kurdistan North, who was unable élis a Member of Parliament, but during the elections in Turkey on 22 July 2007


 
Not surprisingly, the AKP raffle, taking an absolute majority of votes (46.66%) and won 341 seats including 75 deputies Kurds as reactionary religious alliance Tribes of Hamite with the assassin red Sultan Albul Hamide . Mr Gul afinancé Al Qaida who is chairman of the Etata Erdogan that Turkish and areçu home the Taliban is the Prime Minister and 75 members are heirs to Idrissi Bitlisi who massacred with Yavuz Sultan Selim in 1514 700,000 Kotchgiriens and Dersimis. Then comes the leftist nationalist party CHP then finally
MHP party ultra nationaliste.En Regarding the DTP which had presented candidates "independents" to circumvent the rule that requires 10% nationally to be represented in parliament, he totaled 24 sièges.Selon John Mason: "A crisis affects the overall legitimacy of political power, linked to the oligarchic trend of a system marked by electoral campaigns involving small teams of experts, sold to the highest bidder, where the growing financial needs and finally a low turnout. As its opinion clear disaffection for most public institutions with the exception of military, political and military elites are extreme caution for his involvement outside. "(20) JNotes -6)


         The report submitted in October 2004 at the National Assembly by the member Guy Lengagne accentuates the functionality of military intervention."Turkey is a democracy that has suffered three military coups in 1960, 1970 and 1980, a civil war fifteen years against Kurdish organizations that 35,000 dead, a chronic government instability reflecting voter dissatisfaction leading them to try all combinations possible coalition and to change with each election, a financial crisis of the first magnitude largely caused by a manipulation of the banking system by some quarters corrupt, and a reversal of roles in which a moderate Islamic government became the carrying values of modernity and democracy in Europe instead of a power Kemalist which had been the depositary history throughout the twentieth century. "(22) means that" Turkey is the only country with which the EU has made a customs union. In addition, the Heads of State and Government of the EU have never contested the legitimacy of his approach during the various stages of consideration of two applications filed in succession by this country, and have only issued objections relating to compliance with conditions for any European candidate. "according to the report. The report of Deputies french is a falsification of reality which coincides with the visit of Mr Barroso and Mr Lelouche.

       1-    The analysis of the judgement of the Seventh Chamber of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities



  In the case T-229-/02 on the PKK and CNK[15] European judges have cancelled the 03-04-2008 the EU's decision, dating from 2002, to include the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) on its list of terrorist organizations. The decision overturned by the Court of First Instance of the European Court of Justice had been taken when the terror list the European Union has been developed for the first time in the wake of attacks in 2001.


           The list has been updated several times since under new European decisions, which explains why the ruling on Thursday does not change, "said a spokesman in Europe. "The decision of the Court refers to a previous decision (EU), which has already been replaced by others," he said.


            The Luxembourg judges felt that the EU had not sufficiently justified its decision in 2002, following the reasoning that they had held in December 2006 to cancel listing of another movement, organization Iranian opposition decision again without practical consequence. The question that arises is what is the legal value of this decision? Was it this decision will influence the process for a political solution to the national question and colonial Kurdistan insofar Professor Ismet Cherif Vanly in its appeal on July 31, 2002 as chairman of the National Congress of Kurdistan?


           It seems to me that the appeal lodged by Prof. Vanly has a range of international legal based on the foundations of international law. Prof.. Vanlyl said: "null and void the decision of 2 May 2002 the Council (2002/334/EC and the related decision[16] of (17) June 2002 regarding its ban on the PKK (the alternative, declaring it illegal settlement n ( 2508/2001 insofar as it applies to applicants' Prof. Vanly filed his appeal "for the partial annulment of the decision (2002/334/EC and Decision 2002/460/EC, its successor, under which the PKK is listed as terrorist organisations by the EU. These decisions were taken under Regulation No (2580/2001.

  In support of its conclusions Professor Vanly stressed "the obligation to apply the criteria to factual accuracy and / or reflect the law of armed conflict if necessary. The applicants say in this connection that the Council adopted a ban on a non-existing (recently disbanded), an organization which, by definition, was unable to deliver now or in future terrorism. Alternatively, if this is challenged, the PKK is expected to continue to exist as an organization, the Council has failed completely in its obligation to comply with the condition under which any organization presumed to be considered under Regulation must engage now terrorist activities. In fact, since July 1999, the PKK has waived the requirement for the independence of Kurdistan and merely seeking recognition of Kurdistan, using peaceful means and policies.


- Violation of the internationally recognized right to self-determination, cultural rights, civil and political rights.

 

     Violation of fundamental rights of expression and association.


- Violation of other principles of Community law, such as proportionality, security, equality and the right to a fair trial.

 

    Abuse of power in the sense that registration by the PKK on the list in question is attributable to political pressure exerted by Turkey and not the result of an application is just as serious of the above criteria facts. "


            From the point of view of jurisprudence, the proceedings against the Council of European Union action for annulment provided specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons - Acts of direct and individual concern and appreciation to According to article (Art. 230, para. 4, CE) and the proceedings on this subject


           a) Procedure - Admissibility of appeals - Findings by reference to the situation at the time of filing the complaint - Irrelevant replacing a decision pending the decision
             As groups or entities covered by restrictive measures in the framework of the fight against terrorism, the rules governing the admissibility of an action for annulment must be apprehended under the circumstances. Indeed, it may happen that they have no legal existence, or that they were unable to comply with the legal rules generally applicable to legal persons. Therefore, excessive formalism would in some cases deny any possibility of action for annulment even though these groups and entities have been subjected to restrictive measures.
            In the order dated 15 February 2005 the Court dismissed the appeal in the following ways;
                "The evidence that the Kurdistan Workers' Party (Kurdistan Workers Party) (PKK) is published in 1978 and has started an armed struggle against the Turkish government to recognize the right of Kurds to self-determination. According to the written testimony of Mr. O. Ocalan, the PKK had declared a ceasefire unilaterally, subject to the right of self in July 1999. According to the same testimony in April 2002 to reflect this shift, the Congress of the PKK had decided that "all activities carried out under the name of 'PKK' cease-4 April 2002 and all activities on behalf of the PKK would be considered illegitimate "(Annex 2 of the application, paragraph 16). A new grouping, the Kongreya AzadÓ š Demokrasiya Kurdistan (Congress for Democracy and Freedom in Kurdistan - KADEK), was established to democratically achieve political goals on behalf of the Kurdish minority. Mr. A. Ocalan has been named president of KADEK.


The Kurdistan National Congress (National Congress of Kurdistan) (KNK) is a federation of thirty organizations. The KNK aims to "strengthen unity and cooperation of the Kurds in all parts of Kurdistan and support their struggle in light of the higher interests of the Kurdish nation" (Article 7, paragraph A, the charter of KNK). According to the written testimony of Mr. S. Vanly, chairman of KNK, the honorary leader of the PKK has been among those who favoured the creation of KNK. The PKK was a member of KNK and individual members of the PKK partially funded the KNK.


On 27 December 2001, considering that action by the Community was necessary in order to implement resolution 1373 (2001) of the United Nations Security Council, the Council adopted Common Position 2001/930/CFSP on the fight against terrorism (OJ L 344, p. 90) and the Common Position 2001/931/CFSP on the application of specific measures to fight against terrorism (OJ L 344, p. 93).


Under Article 2 of the common position 2001/931: The European Community, acting within the powers conferred upon it by the Treaty establishing the European Community, ordered the freezing of funds and other financial assets or economic resources of persons , Groups and entities listed in the Annex. "(..)

 

Under Article 87 (2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance, the unsuccessful party should be ordered to pay the costs if it is concluded in part the success of the records. In this case, since the Council has been unsuccessful and the applicant has applied to the conviction of the Council must be condemned at the expense of  on behalf of the PKK engaged in this Court and the Court of Justice.
Under the first paragraph of Article 87 (4) of these rules, Member States and institutions which intervened in the action are to bear their own costs. The United Kingdom and the Commission therefore bear their own costs.
On those grounds,
The court of first instance (Seventh Chamber)
Stops:
1. Cancels Council Decision 2002/460/EC of 17 June 2002 implementing Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities to fight against terrorism and repealing the decision 2002/334 / EC insofar as it relates Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK);
  The Council to bear its own costs, all costs incurred by Osman Ocalan on behalf of the PKK before the Court of First Instance and Court of Justice;
  The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the European Commission to bear their own costs.[17]

 

               Since the defeat of Turkish forces in February 2008 during the month of March the Turkish armed forces have continued to massacre the civilian population and the Turkish Air Force supported by the EU, the USA and NATO and Israel continues to drop bombs on the areas of resistance. While Resolution 1366 (2001) Adopted by the Security Council at its 4360th meeting, on August 30, 2001 states that "Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the prevention of armed conflict (S/2001/574), in particular recommendations contained therein regarding the role of the Security Council,

Recalling the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and
Reaffirming its commitment to the principles of political independence, equality
Sovereign and territorial integrity of all States,
Aware of the consequences of armed conflict on relations between states,
of the economic burden that results for the nations concerned, as well as for
the international community, and especially their humanitarian consequences,
Bearing in mind that the United Nations Charter gives the responsibility
the maintenance of international peace and security and reaffirming the
its role in the prevention of armed conflicts,
Stressing the need to maintain regional peace and stability and international
and friendly relations among all States, and insisting that the
preventing the outbreak and escalation of conflict is a political imperative,
humanitarian and moral absolute and present at the same time economic benefits,
Stressing the importance of an overall strategy comprising operational measures
and structural prevention of armed conflicts, and considering the principles enunciated by the Secretary-General's report on the prevention of armed conflicts,
Noting with satisfaction the increased use of Council missions, sent
in areas affected or threatened by conflict, with the consent of the countries visited,
missions which, among other things, can play an important role in preventing
armed conflicts, "and yet the Security Council
1. Expresses its determination to pursue the goal of preventing armed conflicts,
as an integral part of its primary responsibility in maintaining
peace and security;
2. Emphasizes that it is primarily the responsibility of governments to prevent
conflicts and that the United Nations and the international community
can play an important role in supporting the efforts of
governments to this end and may help them build capacity in this area,
and appreciates the importance of supporting civil society;
3. Calls upon Member States and organizations and regional structures
and subregional organizations to contribute to the development of a comprehensive strategy
conflict prevention, as proposed by the Secretary General;
4. Emphasizes that ensuring the success of a preventive strategy,
the United Nations needs the consent and assistance of government
and, if possible, the cooperation of other key players in the country, and stresses that
respect that neighbouring States, regional allies or other Member States well

strong political commitment;

 

At the European Parliament and Council of Europe during his first visit to Turkey as Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he sincerely believed that two new chapters could be opened in the accession negotiations with the country by early July. He also emphasized that Turkey still had a long way to go before fulfilling the conditions for candidacy to the EU.


After his meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan on April 10, M. Barroso said that Turkey had made considerable progress on European standards. He nevertheless stressed that the country must do more and faster reforms. But the question arises what was it progress? How the lie became a reality? Injustice became justice?



Addressing the Turkish Parliament, Mr. Barroso said that the reform will be the best way to ensure the progress of negotiations. He also added that the most important, he said, "is that these reforms are all in the interest of citizens. "But what citizens?



Mr Barroso continues to multiply lies European past two centuries, it must be noted that since 1876 until the present day Turkey has never kept its promises. The question of the bill is not a solution.
He welcomed the recent initiative of the Government of sending a bill to Parliament demanding to amend the controversial Article 301 of the Penal Code - section prohibits any criticism of the Turkish identity EurActiv 08/04/08 - believing that It is a step in the right direction. The reform of Article 301 is a key demand of the EU in the negotiations pre-accession talks with Turkey. To the question of democracy is not changing the Articles of the Turkish Penal Code, is the question of colonialism and the Turkish military occupation, we are not asking for Turkey's accession to the EU, but we ask the departure of Turkey in Central Asia. Europe does not need the barbarity of the Turkish unlike the reactionary thought Elisabeth Guigou.


The Commission President said that the law was incompatible with the values of freedom of expression that exist in Europe, suggesting that a change in the law would have a considerable impact in the way Turkey is perceived by Europe. The Turkish Parliament should approve the text next week. In the background is Turkey itself which is not compatible with EU accession.
Mr. Barroso also reiterated the EU concerns the recent decision by the highest court of Turkey to consider a case on banning the ruling AKP party and its main leaders, including Mr. Erdogan and President Abdullah Gül EurActiv 01/04/08. He said that the fact that a party chosen by the majority of the Turkish population would now be subject to this type of survey is not normal in a stable democracy.


First there is no democracy in Turkey and Turkey is not a secular country. Let's talk Mustafa[18] Kémal from its foundation / It is useless to look for a secular Turkey and démocratic.The Turkey is a country fascist and colonialist and Mr Barroso is in agreement with the Turkish imperialist policy for imperialist interests and military. As the religion is imposed by force in Kurdistan North and construction of mosques in the department of Dersim of Kotchgiri could not be imposed nor religion nor secularism by force. According to him, insofar as Turkey is a candidate country for EU, the Union can not be indifferent to this type of development.


            Mr Jose Manuel Barroso does not pose the question of war crimes and crimes of genocide committed by Turkey or violation of international law by Turkey, he announced that he sincerely hoped that the Constitutional Court decision is consistent with the rule Law, European norms and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. For us the AKP party is a criminal and 75 deputies Kurds are religious as mercenaries recruited and they are at the same level as paramilitary 65000. While the recruitment of 65,000 mercenaries is prohibited under the International Convention against the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries, 4 December 1989, which stipulates "


1. The term "mercenary" means any person who: a) Is specially recruited in the country or abroad to fight in an armed conflict b) Who takes part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and in fact, by a party to the conflict or on its behalf, a material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants with a rank and a similar function in the armed forces of that party;



  c) Is neither a national of a party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a party to the conflict; d) Is not a member of the armed forces of a party to the conflict, and e) Who n ' has not been sent by a State party to a conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces Etat.2. The term "mercenary" means also, in any other situation, any person who: a) Is specially recruited in the country or abroad to take part in a concerted act of violence aimed at: i) Overthrowing a government or in any other way, impair the constitutional order of a State or ii) Undermining the territorial integrity of a State b) Who takes part in such an act primarily in order to obtain a significant personal benefit and is pushed to act by the promise or the payment of material compensation; c) Is neither a national nor a resident of the State against which such an act is directed d) Who has not been sent by a State official, and e) Is not a member of the armed forces of the State in whose territory the act took place. Article 2 Anyone who recruits, uses, finances or educated mercenaries, the meaning of the first article of this Convention, commits an offence under the Convention. Article 3 1.One mercenary, the meaning of the first article of this Convention, which took a direct part in hostilities or a concerted act of violence, as appropriate, commits an offence under the Convention. 2. Nothing in this Article shall limit the scope of article 4 of this Convention. Article 4 commits an offence to: a) Attempt to commit an offence as defined in this Convention, b) as an accomplice of a person who commits or attempts to commit an offence as defined in this Convention. Article 5 1. The States Parties undertake not to recruit, use, finance or instruct mercenaries and to prohibit such activities in accordance with the provisions of this Convention. 2. The States Parties undertake not to recruit, use, finance or instruct mercenaries to oppose the legitimate exercise of the inalienable right of peoples to self-determination as recognized by international law and take, in accordance with international law, appropriate measures to prevent the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries to this end. "


Secondly Turkey has destroyed the forests of northern Kurdistan and has undermined all regions unlike the Ottawa Convention on banning landmines



The Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction, also known as the Ottawa Convention, seeks to completely eliminate the use of this weapon across the globe while framing the victims thereof through medical assistance, financial and moral. Open the signatures of States beginning on December 3, 1997, the Convention entered into force on 1 March 1999 following the signing of 122 states. So far, the Convention has been signed by 154 countries including 151 States have ratified it. In less than 10 years since the signing of the Convention, more than 37 million landmines (APL) were destroyed by Member States.
Thirdly Turkey has destroyed the forests of our country contrary to the UN Convention
Reaffirming that the Convention on Biological Diversity 1 is the main international instrument on the conservation and rational exploitation of biological resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from utilization of genetic resources,
Noting that one hundred and eighty-nine States and one regional economic integration organization have ratified the Convention and that one hundred and forty-two states and regional economic integration organization have ratified the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on the diversity biologique2, Recalling that the World Summit on Sustainable Development,

 
Concerned by the continuing loss of biological diversity and recognizing the need to make an unprecedented effort to slow it down significantly by 2010


Noting that the secretariats of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the United Nations Convention on the fight against desertification in countries[19]


Fourth, countries should be colonialists Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria leave Kurdistan in this sense we say; Islam outside Dersime and Kotchgiri and Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria out of Kurdistan


            Ultimately what are the policies of European states vis-à-vis Turkey and the solution of the Question of Kurdistan?[20]

           

First, Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, responded to remarks by Nicolas Sarkozy in the following way: "The accession negotiations with Turkey are continuing on the basis of a mandate given by Member States to the unanimity. " He added: "If a Member State, or more, wants to change that mandate, it is up to them to take charge and accept the consequences."

 

J. Mr. Barroso made clear he wanted the current discussions were continuing: "The Commission hopes that negotiations are continuing, and we recommend to member states not to take final decisions before the end of negotiations." I think the visit of Mr Jose Manuel Barroso is still empty, because there is war in Kurdistan and 900 trade unionists are imprisoned on May 1, thousands of people are imprisoned and about our friend Ragip Zarakolu Association International Publishers (IPA) is greatly concerned about the treatment meted out to the publisher Ragip Zarakolu for his publication of a book by George Jerjian entitled Gerçek bizi Ozgür Kilacak (1). We believe that the fundamental rights of the publisher Ragip Zarakolu to a fair trial, freedom of expression and freedom of publishing are being violated in this case. We therefore kindly ask you, you and your Director General, to pay attention to this trial, sending in an ideal representative of the European Union since Ankara, to be observer at the next court hearing, January 31, 2008, and / or formally request the Turkish authorities the information currently on the case.


           As we have previously reported, Ragip Zarakolu, co-founder and owner of Belge editions, is accused in Istanbul of "insulting the State" (Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code) and the "memory of the founder of the Republic, Atatürk "(Law 5816). In this case, which began in December 2004, the charges may result in a sentence of seven and a half years' imprisonment. The next court hearing is scheduled on January 31, 2008.


           We would also like to stress once again that the very foundation of this trial, Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code and the 5816 law, constitute a violation of a fundamental human right. The charges against Ragip Zarakolu in this case is directly infringe on its right to freedom of expression - and freedom of publishing - as guaranteed by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Rights' Man United Nations, Article 19 of the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and Article 10 of the European Convention on the Rights of Man (ECHR) whose Turkey east signatory. These charges also contravene Article 11 of the new Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.


         In the wake of the assassination of Hrant Dink, January 19, 2007, the IPA has led an international campaign for the repeal of Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code, under which Hrant Dink was sentenced to six months in prison Sentencing in July 2006, decision that you publicly condemn July 12, 2006. In February 2007, more than 40 non-governmental organizations, national and international, under the leadership of the IPA, have called for the total repeal of Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code. Unfortunately, all these calls for a repeal were not taken into account.


          The Turkish government has delayed several times the announced amendments relating to Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code. Once again, we take this opportunity to call for total repeal of Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code and other provisions of Turkish law, used to violate international standards of freedom of expression. Changes facade probably lead to other trials of editors and writers. "I would add PEN International has launched an appeal and quote our friend Ragip Zarakolu with 25 other journalists imprisoned under Article 301 of Turkish Penal Code that Mr Jose Manuel Barroso hoped the cancellation. Contrary to misconceptions of International PEN Mr Barroso said that "International PEN, the worldwide association of writers, gave a qualified welcome to the amendments to Article 301 of Turkey's Penal Code under which hundreds of people, including many writers and journalists have been prosecuted since its introduction three years ago. Yet he is disappointed that the law itself has not been repealed. The changes limit the scope of "offences" which can be prosecuted under this law, reduced the maximum sentence and makes it more difficult to bring cases to prosecution. The fact remains that comment seems to be "insulting" for state institutions, such as the judiciary, military and even officials, may still be punishable by prison sentences of up to two years.


          At present, the International Federation oversees testing of approximately 25 writers, journalists and publishers under Article 301 who have written on issues ranging from criticism of the Turkish armed forces, suggest that there were was a genocide against Armenians early last century. One such case was that of publisher Ragip Zarakolu, one of the first to be prosecuted under this law, whose trial began in August 2005 and is still dragging on almost three years late. He is accused for the publication of Professor Dora Sakayan's An Armenian Doctor in Turkey: Garabed Hatcherian: My Smyrna test 1922.

International PEN, the world association of writers, gives a qualified welcome to the changes to Article 301 of Turkey's Penal Code under which hundreds of people, among them many writers and journalists, have been brought to trial since it was introduced three years ago. Yet it is disappointed that the law itself has not been repealed. The changes limit the scope of "offences" that can be prosecuted under this law, reduces the maximum penalty and makes it more difficult to bring cases to prosecution. Yet it remains that commentary seen to be "insulting" to state institutions, such as the judiciary, the military and even individual officials, can still be penalised with prison terms of up to two years.

At present, International PEN is monitoring the trials of around 25 writers, journalists and publishers under Article 301 who have written on issues ranging from criticism of the Turkish armed forces, to suggesting that there had been a genocide against Armenians at the turn of the last century. One such case is that of publisher Ragip Zarakolu, one of the first to be prosecuted under this law, whose trial opened in August 2005 and which is still dragging on almost three years later. He is accused for the publication of Professor Dora Sakayan's An Armenian Doctor in Turkey: Garabed Hatcherian: My Smyrna Ordeal of 1922.

International PEN hopes that the changes to Article 301 will lead to the review and dismissal of current cases, and an end to further trials. PEN has been calling for Article 301 to be removed from Turkish legislation completely since it was in draft form in 2004. International PEN has been staging a global campaign calling the repeal of all laws that treat defamation as a criminal, rather than a civil, offence, and argues that the term "insult" is too vague to have any legal standing as a charge and should thus be scrapped from penal codes entirely.

PEN is monitoring the cases of around 25 other writers, journalists and publishers who are imprisoned or on trial under other laws in Turkey. These include those on insult to the memory of Ataturk, promoting conscientious objection, inciting religious enmity, and certain articles of the Anti Terror Law that penalise, for example, propaganda for an illegal organisation. International PEN is concerned that many of these trials have been brought in breach of the right to freedom of expression and is calling for a review of all such laws with the aim of bringing them into accord with international human rights standards.

The Solidarity Platform of Imprisoned Journalists (TGDP) has reminded on the occasion of the World Press Freedom Day that 24 journalists were still in Turkish prisons on May 3, 2008.

As there was no imprisoned journalist under Article 301, all journalists in prison are condemned or prosecuted under the Anti-Terror Law. Although recently modified, Article 301 with its new form remains a menace to the freedom of expression.

For these reasons, the TGDP demand a total suppression of all anti-democratic articles of the Turkish Penal Code and the Anti-Terror Law.



TGDP also announced that during the repressive May Day operations, many journalists were attacked by police forces, their cameras broken. Among them are the correspondents of CNN Turk, Anadolu Agency, Reuters and Cumhuriyet.  The live broadcast of Sky Turk was interrupted by using force.


The below list indicates the names of 24 journalists with the mention of the media for which they had worked  and the prison where they are keptL( Annexes-I)

    And for France without having the proposals made by Pierre Lelouche his return to Turkey, Mr President of the Republic at the meeting in Rome had stated that;
"The value added of the Union for the Mediterranean should reside primarily in the political momentum that should give cooperation around the Mediterranean and the mobilization of civil societies, businesses, local authorities, associations and NGOs.


        The Union for the Mediterranean will be destined to be the heart and engine of cooperation in the Mediterranean and the Mediterranean. It should aim to make it more clear and visible actions that individual institutions develop towards the Mediterranean. The EU should be based on the principle of cooperation and not on that of integration.

        To this end, they have agreed to invite the Heads of State and Government of countries bordering the Mediterranean to meet with European Union countries on July 14 in Paris to define their common vision. The summit will be preceded by a meeting of countries bordering on July 13.


         It should establish the principles and organization of the Union for the Mediterranean with the aim to implement an approach based on concrete projects and the recognition of a share of common destiny among all riparian countries and with the European Union.

         In the coming months and to the summit, France, Spain and Italy, will begin preparatory work in close consultation with the countries invited to participate. This work will aim to identify priority areas of cooperation, projects are most appropriate, study their feasibility and funding sources, to consider the list of players who wish to engage in each project.

         The Union is not intended to replace the procedures for cooperation and dialogue that already meet the countries of the Mediterranean but to complement them and give them additional impetus in a spirit of complementarity and cooperation with all existing institutions.

         The Barcelona Process and the ENP will, therefore, central to the partnership between the European Union as a whole and its Mediterranean partners. The Union for the Mediterranean n'interfèrera nor in the process of stabilization and association for the countries concerned, nor in the negotiation process underway between the European Union and Croatia, on the one hand, between the Union European and Turkey, on the other. " [21]
But we add that one of these issues is the genocide of Armenians. In this connection, I would like to quote Yves Ternon think that 'There is no compromise possible: either Turkey recognizes the genocide of Armenians, or it does not recognize it. As long as Turkey refuses to recognize this genocide, it will not have the right to enter a community of democratic states such as the European Union, whose legal and moral basis is the respect des droits de l ' Human and Minority Rights[22]. "We say the rights of peoples to self-determination and self-determination. This is the essential question that the President of the Republic Mr Nicolas Sarkozy is to meet during the French presidency of the EU.


          Secondly Germany was a key country to defend Turkey's candidacy under the leadership of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. However, the recent seizure of power during the autumn of 2005 by the Christian Democrats, led by Angela Merkel,[23] could change the position of the country. Merkel has strongly opposed Turkey's accession, arguing "'invity Turkey to become a candidate country [...] was a mistake." The Germany remains the main economic and commercial partner of Turkey within the EU. The volume of bilateral trade, estimated at 14 billion euros per year has doubled over the past ten years. Nearly 14% of Turkish exports are bound for Germany, while 17% of total German exports are destined for Turkey. Nearly 1100 German companies are now established in Turkey, and more than 3 million German tourists visit Turkey each year. Of the 2.5 million Turks living in Germany, 600 000 have already obtained German citizenship.

 

In this connection we must add that the question for Germany is the question of marketing weapons. This issue was raised by SIPRI According to SIPRI, global military expenditures in 2002 amounted to 784 billion dollars at current prices and exchange rates of 2000, which corresponds to approximately 800 billion dollars. Evaluées to 762 billion in 1993, global military expenditures have declined steadily until 1996 to settle finally, after a bumpiness in 1997, at a minimum of 690 billion dollars in 1998. The 1993-2002 period recorded significant variations between countries, however, dominated by a general trend towards a further increase in military spending in most regions since 1998.


          This is the Middle East that military expenditures have experienced the largest increase: +38% compared to 1993 .. For Africa and Asia / Oceania, the growth of military expenditures for the period 1993-2002 is respectively +30% and +23%. It noted the spectacular growth of expenditure in South Asia (+44%), due for the most part to the lifting of U.S. sanctions and military aid granted to India and Pakistan on behalf of the "war against terrorism" .


        The decrease of 8% for all European countries due mainly to the drastic reduction of expenditure Russian started in the early'90s. Also for the period 1993-2002, the decline in military spending is 6% in Western Europe and 2% for the European Union. A comparable figure (-6%) is noted for North America. It must, however, expect to find in this region a rate clearly positive from the next estimates, because of significant budgetary increases decided or planned by the Bush administration, which increases must be added the additional costs not included in the initial budget but required during the year to Congress ( "supplementals"). The operations in Iraq and Afghanistan result in a significant demand for "supplementals." A significant increase in military spending is also found in Central and Latin America (respectively +18% to +20%).


          The concentration of military expenditures is very important: the USA alone represent some 42.8% of the global total. They are followed by Japan (6%), UK (4.6%), France (4.3%) and China (4%), these top five countries in a total of 62% of total World .. The 15 European Union countries accounted for 19.5% of world military expenditure in 2002. The top 15 most expensive countries for their defence together totalled 82% of the global total. The ranking is significantly different if it were doing the same ranking after converting military expenditures in purchasing power parity. the USA retains an undeniable first place, but they are followed in this case by China, India, Russia and France. The last report of the CRS (22 September 2003) is expressed in dollars, the prices and rates exchange 2002, while the 2003 edition of the SIPRI maintains its indicators dollar prices and exchange rates of 1990. It can therefore compare trends, not values! The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet bloc had a profound impact on international trade in conventional arms and especially on the distribution of market shares among major exporters. The nature of aggregate demand has changed from the context of the rivalry between the two superpowers and their clients associated with a new issue of regional security. Although these changes have led to a substantial decrease of global arms transfers, many countries, particularly those in developing countries, continue to acquire substantial quantities of new weapons.


       SIPRI CRS and agree to a summit noted high sales of conventional arms in 1987, followed by a fall continues until 1992, immediate consequence of the disappearance of a direct confrontation between East and West. Stabilization, however, is observable from 1993, primarily due to significant deliveries of arms by the USA the coalition countries involved in the first Persian Gulf conflict in 1991. From 1994 to 1997, sales have resumed an upward curve sharply. This revival was mainly due to a major re-equipment of the Gulf countries after the War of 1990-1991 and sustained demand for a modernization of armament in East Asia and later in South America. The transfers of conventional weapons then started declining since 1998, reaching their lowest level in 2000, according to SIPRI.
According to SIPRI transfers made during the year 2002 (16.49 billion dollars at current prices for 1990) are slightly higher, +2% to those of the previous year (16.16 billion dollars, at 1990 prices for the year 2001). Estimates of CRS; conclude against a significant decline in shipments in 2001. According to the CRS, the value of actual deliveries (deliveries) conventional weapons would be increased from 26.97 billion dollars (the price of 2002) in 2001 to only 25.44 billion dollars (the price of 2002) for the 2002, a fall of 5.65%.
This is the third consecutive year that the CRS indicates a decline in total international transfers. According to the CRS, arms transfers have decreased by 40.52% between 1999 (42.8 billion at 2002 prices) and the year 2002 (25.44 billion). The SIPRI, against, after recording a significant decline in 2000 (minus 27.23% compared to 1999), said the past two years a slight upward trend.

Despite the divergence between the recent estimates of SIPRI and the CRS, it is likely that the overall level of international transfers of conventional arms to stabilize around 26 billion dollars (the price of 2002) in the near future. On long period, SIPRI and CRS show curves look like, The curve traced out by SIPRI based on moving averages established over five years indicates a continued decline is expected to continue for a few more years,

The CRS also provides data on contracts (agreements) during the year. These agreements are a good indicator of sales forecasts for the following years, knowing that all contracts will not necessarily lead to actual delivery (deliveries). The CRS believes that the agreements were registered in 2002 a decrease of 3.16% compared to 2001. From 30.12 billion (at current prices for 2002) for the year 2001 they would spend to 29.17 billion dollars (the price of 2002) in 2002.

While it is undeniable that international transfers of conventional arms totals have dropped dramatically between 1987 and 2002 - a decline of about 60%, CRS, however, clearly demonstrates that most of these transfers is always intended to developing countries. According to the CRS, the total deliveries of conventional arms in the world declined by 42.77% during the period 1995-2001, from 44.46 billion in 1995 to 25.44 billion dollars in 2002 (at 2002 prices).

During the same period, deliveries to developing countries fell by 32.72 billion in 1995 to 16.96 billion dollars in 2002 (at prices 2002), a fall of 39% eight years. It should be noted, from these figures that developing countries continue, despite the slight recent decline, to absorb the bulk of world supplies of conventional arms: in 1994, are 76.6% of total deliveries, which were sent to developing countries, this proportion is 66.7% for the year 2001. Over the past eight years, the average is 70.4%.

Finally, to complete this brief overview of global trends, it is also required to note the extreme concentration of market conventional arms between a very small number of players. For the period 1998-2002, the 6 major exporters 85.6% share of the global market. 6 The main importers totalled more than one third of global demand (36.2%). This small core group of countries is also very stable for many years; On the supply side, the USA dominate currently about 40.8% of the global market for conventional arms, followed by Russia with 22, 4%, France (9%), Germany (5.4%), UK (5.2%) and Ukraine (2.9%). On the demand side, China currently dominates with 9.5% of world imports. China is followed in order by Taiwan (7.4%), India (5.2%), Turkey (5.1%), Saudi Arabia (4.7%) and the Greece (4.3%).

The United Kingdom remains committed to EU enlargement and considers as priority the launch of accession negotiations with Ankara on October 3, 2005. However, due to the recent failure of referendums on the European Constitution and the perceptible change in mood in some European political circles, it might be difficult for London to maintain the pace of enlargement. Turkey is an important trading partner of the United Kingdom. In 2002, the latter was the third destination of Turkish exports and the sixth main source of imports. The total bilateral trade for 2002 amounted to 3.7 billion pounds (5.4 billion euros).

Greece, the traditional enemy of Turkey, has almost become a fervent supporter of Ankara's accession to the EU. According to Athens, it is better that Turkey is in the club and outside. "We simply believe that if Turkey joined the European Union, it will be obliged, upon accession, to respect its rules and values that will resolve itself many of our problems," said the former minister Greek Defence, Yannos Papantoniou. The government of Greek Prime Minister, Costas Karamanlis, is continuing its benevolent approach.

Poland, which joined the EU on 1 May 2004, is wary that Turkey, once accepted within the European club, receives massive subsidies and is a country much too large for the absorption capacity the EU. However, Warsaw has also repeatedly reiterated its support for Turkey's application.

The Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Juncker, said: "We should also be able to establish different relationships Treaty for the new member states", adding: "All EU Member States should not accede to European policies or incorporate them with the same degree of intensity. In my opinion, if it should include a day 35 or 40 member states, the EU must develop a new form of intensive accession. "

 Personally I have not changed my opinion since the Conference ten Academies of Sciences in Paris in 2005 and I expressed my beliefs on the future of European research in the following way.

 According to the press "For the first time a European treaty proposes to build a space scientist, pointed out, for its part,''the daily''Prof. François Jacob. Such an ambition is very important for research. Broadly speaking, the development of Europe, and of course France, based on the ability of developing research. "

"It is through excellence in research and innovation that Europe can cope with major economic and social challenges of the twenty-first century" can be read in the text of the appeal. "And I'm not sure that everybody has understood," said the Nobel Prize for Medicine 1965. The European Research Council. Prof.. François Gros shared the same sentiments and emphasized that "there are strong ties between accession to the European policy as a whole and the revival of scientific research on the Old Continent". "Like all scientists," it is very eager to see implementation of the European Research Council. "This body, he says, run by prominent high-level scientists, who will start in January or March 2006, should enable Europe to fill its part to delays in the field of basic research in relation to Japan and the USA, "said honorary perpetual secretary of the Academy of Sciences.
