        It is irrevocable: The early legislative elections are to be held on November 29, 1987 with the participation of seven political parties. After the Constitutional Court annulled the procedure of the designation of party candidates, the opposition parties, with a view of gaining more time, resorted to all parliamentary tactics to keep the early elections from occurring until a later time in 1988, but the absolute majority of the Motherland Party (ANAP) in power, following the directive of Premier Turgut Özal, decided to call electors to the polls at the end of this month.
        Seven political parties participate in this elections: While five right-wing parties are running for obtaining the votes of conservative electors, two left-wing parties are competing with each other for obtaining the support of the mass of anti-establishment voters.
        Different from the 1983 elections, this time all of the four former political leaders, Demirel, Ecevit, Erbakan and Türkes, thanks to the lifting of the ban on their political activities at the referendum held on 6 September, are at the head of their new political parties and run for parliamentary seats.
        Of the five right-wing parties the two, the ANAP and the Correct Way Party (DYP), led by former Premier Süley-man Demirel, claim to be the true champion of a policy liberal in economic field, but conservative in the field of human rights and freedoms. In this quarrel, while the ANAP is addressing rather to the young generations and to the urban people, the DYP, pretending to be the only heir of the Justice Party (AP), pre-coup government party dissolved after the coup 1980 by the military, looks for the support of the voters of its predecessor.
        The neo-fascist movement is represented in this elections by the Nationalist Labour Party (MCP), heir of the defunct Nationalist Action Party (MHP). Ex-colonel Alparslan Türkes, chief of the latter and main responsible for the pre-coup political violence, is again at the head of the new neo-fascist party.
        As for the islamist electorate, their votes are claimed by two political parties: the Welfare Party (RP), heir of the defunct National Salvation Party (MSP) and a minor grouping, the Reformist Democracy Party (IDP). While the RP is led by former vice-premier Necmeddin Erbakan, champion of the politicization of Islam in Turkey, the leader of the other, Aykut Edibali is not yet so renown.  
        On the left, the Social Democrat Populist Party (SHP) of Erdal Inönü, son of the second President of the Republic, and the Democratic Left Party (DSP) of former social-democrat premier Bülent Ecevit compete for drawing to their sides the votes of the defunct Republican People's Party (CHP) members as well as the socialists who cannot be represented in these elections by their own parties. In fact, contrary to the European democratic norms, neither working class nor Kurdish community parties can participate in these elections, for a simple reason that the Political Parties Code as well as the Penal Code do not allow to set up political parties on the social class or community basis. Therefore, as were in 1983, the elections of 29 November 1987 cannot be considered free elections compatible with the criteria of European pluralist democracy.

TKP ASKS FOR LEGAL STATUS

        Outlawed since its foundation in 1921, the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), has taken a series of steps with a view to obtaining legal status in Turkey and taking part in Turkish daily politics.
        Just at the beginning of the electoral campaign, the TKP, annexing the Workers' Party of Turkey (TIP),  one of the legal socialist parties the pre-coup period, has announced that it would change its name into the United Communist Party of Turkey (TBKP) and adopt a new programme open to a collaboration not only with social-democrat parties, but also with center-right parties like the DYP or islamist parties such as the RP.
        After the announcement of this new ouverture, the death of Mrs. Behice Boran, 77, chairwoman of the annexed TIP, has given the TKP the possibility of widespreading its request of being legalized. Boran, a distinguished figure of the Turkish socialist movement, had been deprived of citizenship and living as refugee in Belgium since 1981. After her party's joining the TKP, she would be honorary president of the future TBKP.
        With a view to obtaining the sympathy of left-wing voters prior to the early elections, Özal's Government made a gesture and allowed Boran's friends to bring her remains to Turkey and to hold a ceremony at the Grand National Assembly of which she had been member in 1965-69. Encouraged by this gesture, the officials of the TKP and the TIP have announced that they had the intention to go to Turkey before the elections and to fulfill necessary formalities for legally founding the TBKP.
        These steps have given rise to different reactions. While some of the ANAP officials say that the legislation does not allow to legalize a communist party and that its leaders would be arrested in the case of coming to Turkey, Özal and some others say that the question would be examined after the elections.
        As for the other outlawed left-wing parties, they accuse the TKP and the TIP of making a compromise with the government so as to give it the opportunity of claiming to have instituted full democracy in the country by legalizing only one of the outlawed left-wing parties while anti-democratic legislation remains in force and prisons are full of political detainees.   
        Apart from the TKP and the TIP, there are about twenty underground Marxist and Kurdish parties in Turkey and many of them do not share the TBKP's political line and programme. Though some of them are also pro-Soviet like the TKP and the TIP, the communist parties of the socialist world consider only these two as "brother parties". Marking the privilege of the TBKP, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has invited only the general secretaries of the TKP and the TIP to Moscow for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the October Revolution.
      
ALARMING TRENDS IN TURKISH ECONOMY

        If the government's unrespect to fundamental human rights and freedoms has the priority in the electoral quarrel, the opposition parties challenge also Özal's economic policies which have given rise to unemployment, social injustice and foreign debts.
        Although Özal, in his electoral campaign, claims that Turkey's economic performance has attained to an unprecedented level during his 4-year rule, the statistical data are very far from confirming this assertion.
        Özal's policy of export-led growth has quadrupled overseas sales to 8 billion dollars since 1980. The share of industrial products in total exports has risen from 30 to 75 per cent, while the country scored its highest growth rate, 8 per cent, last year. Özal's opponents, however, say the rapid rise in exports resulted from government curbs on domestic demand and the payment of high incentive premiums, which at times reached % 50 to 60 of the export value of some goods.
        A large inflow of credits from western countries and banks also helped to boost economic growth. However, Özal's appeal for foreign investment -citing, among other benefits, low labour costs- has given rise to growing criticisms in the labour movement. In fact, wages have increased nominally, but workers' real purchasing power has dramatically dropped  (See: Info-Türk, September 1987).
        What is more, according to official figures, unemployment has been hovering around 20 per cent since 1983, but real figure is estimated to be much higher.
        The most alarming fact is the skyrocketing foreign debts. According to a report drawn up by the Council for Treasury and Foreign Trade, the sum of Turkey's foreign debts climbed to $ 33,125 million in July 1987, while it was $ 17,619 million in 1982.

CREDITORS                                        1982             1987

Middle and long term debts                15,855         25,568

        International organizations          4,531         6,631
        Bilateral agreements                        7,115         10,922
        Commercial banks                            3,229            4,724
        Private creditors                                    980            3,298

Short term creditors                                 1,764           7,577

TOTAL                                                        17,619         33,145

        According to another survey, published by the daily Cumhuriyet of April 23, 1987, Turkey will have to pay 14,823 million dollars of her foreign debt within five years.
        The pressure of debt servicing is reflected in the large budget deficit: 999 million dollars in the first five months of 1987. The government is using domestic borrowing to cover the deficit. In the same five months it issued 2.6 billion dollars in bonds, more than half with maturities of less than six months.
        As a result, inflation is again increasing, after failing to 30 per cent over the past three years. Consumer prices rose by more than 37 per cent in the 12 months to July.
       
POEM OF A YOUNG POET IN PRISON

        A 20-year old student of graphic art when he was arrested on 29 March 1980 accused of involvement in the terrorist activities of the Revolutionary left-wing organization Dev-Sol, Nevzat Celik has spent the last seven-and-a-half years in prison, awaiting a trial which will arraign several hundred members of the organization and the outcome of which could be a death penalty. Celik has always denied involvement in terrorism.
        While in prison, Celik started writing poetry, and he has now had two volumes of verse published in Istanbul. The first volume, Safak Türküsü (Dawn Song) has appeared in six editions; his second collection, Müebbet Türküsü (Lifer's Song) came out in May this year. In June he was awarded the "Persecuted Poet" prize at the International Poetry Festival in Rotterdam.
        Nevzat Celik was born in Sinop (northern Turkey) in 1960, the son of illiterate workers who moved to Istanbul when Nevzat was a small boy. He was brought up in the ghettos of the Turkish capital.
        When his first collection of poems became a best-seller, the prison authorities asked him to write poems in support of the official ideology, but Nevzat refused. Since then, his mail has been stopped and he has not received letters from friends and family. In April this year he went on a hunger strike in protest. After 22 days his gums swelled and he was in danger of losing his teeth, as well as suffering from stomach cramps. He has since been sent to hospital and had an operation on his gums, his general health being fair although his teeth are still not in a good condition.
        His lawyers requested on 3 August that he be released and the case against him dropped, but their request was turned down by the authorities.
        Nevzat Celik was recently adopted as an honorary member of the US Pen Club. Unlike mail from his family and friends, the letter sent by the Pen Club in New-york, which also contained his membership card, has been delivered to Celik in prison.

TO CRY

In one hand my death sentence
in on hand my love
clenching my hands together
            I walked
one night time
the dirty yellow light of the street lamps
and well-known eyes of darkness
            following me
at the bottom of the walls the workers'
footsteps leave tracks on their way home
in an apprehensive fearful flow
and in the freezing evenings
the snatching of children from the arms
of the women at the doors
the city's arterial streets
are deserted
blood's deserted them
soul's deserted them
the arterial roads of the city don't carry through
this city is Istanbul
seven curved daggers on seven curved peaks
cannot be brandished on every wind
does not smile easy
mourning envelops the skirts of its hills
and Istanbul city's
rollicking songs contain lies
what makes me wander step by step
along the streets of the city
do I want to be alone
or to mix into the crowd?

perhaps
or perhaps not
but what use is it to deny
it's definitely you I'm searching for
you the young mother of resistance
you the black of my eyes
while ready to break the forbidden
and before weaving the shame of crying into my eyes
like children in pain
putting my head on your breast
pouring out my heart
I want to cry
I want to cry
to cry

        March 1982


ONE MORE BOOK TO BE DESTROYED

        The Court of Peace No.4 of Istanbul, conforming to the prosecutor's request, decided on October 15, 1987, that all copies of Dr. Haydar Dümen's work, "Sexual Culture", confiscated earlier, should be destroyed on grounds that its contents are immoral and provoke sexual desires.
        According to the daily Cumhuriyet of September 28, 1987, since the adoption of the Law on Protection of Minors against Harmful Publications, within a 18-month period, the number of the indictments against printed media has risen by 65 percent. In 124 different cases 200 editors, journalists or writers have been brought before the Court of Istanbul of First Instance.


A JOURNALIST ARRESTED

        Police arrested on October 3, 1987, the President of the Turkish Writers' Union Mehmet Dogan for having placed a black wreath in front of the Tunisian Embassy in Ankara in protest against the condemnation philosophy professor Rachid Gannushi. Along with him have also been taken under custody a lawyer and another member of the union.
