The Turkish Foreign Ministry speaks of irregularities in the Iraqi elections while Turkey for 30 years is trying to force minority rule with 40,000 Turkish troops
NTV television (09.02.05) broadcast the following:
"There were irregularities in Iraq's general election, which would result in some elements of the Iraqi society being under-represented in the new parliament, a spokesman for the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.

Ankara was saddened by the low participation rates in the Iraqi poll, and that steps should be taken to address this imbalance, Foreign Ministry spokesman Namik Tan said during a regular press briefing.

It was important to show Iraq, its people and the world that one does not get results with irregularities, Tan said

"We do not believe that the results of the election will reflect real the representational proportions in the parliament," Tan said.

Tan also denied suggestions that Ankara's sensitivities over Kirkuk were interfering with the domestic affairs of Iraq.

"As the closest neighbour to Iraq we feel the fire there with its all heat and we certainly have the right to be interested," he said.

When asked about what Ankara would do about Kirkuk, Tan said that the first thing was to see the results. He avoided saying what could come after that".

How can TC community rule GC community under the politically equal conditions?Under the conditions of "political equality"; how much GC community will be able to rule as much the TC community will be able to rule. It is really very ridicolous still to hear such allegations from Hellenic side.
