TURKEY, SYRIA, IRAN TO DISCUSS NORTHERN IRAQ

    By Alistair Lyon
    ANKARA, Nov 12, Reuter - Turkey, Syria and Iran are
getting together this weekend to discuss the emerging
Kurdish entity in northern Iraq, alarming both the Kurds and
the Iraqi government.
    Saudi Arabia has also been invited to the foreign
ministers' meeting in Ankara starting on Saturday, but has
not replied.
    Despite the often-strained relations among the four
regional powers, the meeting has stirred fear in Baghdad and
among Iraqi opposition leaders of possible interference in
their affairs.
    Iraqi Kurdish leaders have already voiced their disquiet
to two Turkish diplomats who visited northern Iraq last
week.
    "They assured us no step would be taken against the
Kurds," Jalal Talabani, head of the Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan, told reporters this week. "But we are not
satisfied."
    "There is no necessity for this meeting," he said. "No
one has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of
Iraqi Kurdistan or Iraq. We are concerned about Iraq's
sovereignty."
    Turkish foreign ministry spokeswoman Filiz Dincmen said
Ankara had rejected separate requests by the Baghdad
government and its opponents to attend the foreign
ministers' meeting.
    She said the Turkish, Syrian, Iranian and Saudi foreign
ministers had held similar talks at an Islamic conference in
Istanbul in July 1991 and it was normal for them to meet
again.
    "They are regional countries with a close interest in
Iraq," she told Reuters, but had no details about the
agenda.
    For Turkey, a prime aim is to ensure full cooperation
from Iran and Syria in preventing any return of separatist
Kurdish guerrillas to their former border bases in northern
Iraq.
    Turkish forces and Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga guerrillas
have driven the Marxist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) from
the mountainous frontier region in more than a month of
fighting.
    Turkey, Syria and Iran, which have big Kurdish
minorities, fear the emergence of any independent Kurdish
state in northern Iraq. Iraqi Kurds vehemently deny this is
their objective.
    Iraqi opposition leaders meeting in the north last month
endorsed the Kurds' right to "self-determination within a
united and democratic Iraq" and said they had discussed the
formation of a constitutional federal union to ensure ethnic
coexistence.
    The Iraqi Kurds, who held elections in May, have already
set up a regional government in Irbil and the Kurdish
parliament resolved on October 4 to establish a federated
state.
    Tehran has not hidden its hostility towards the idea and
may well argue in Ankara that Turkey should stop hosting the
Western planes which protect the Kurds from President Saddam
Hussein.
    Turkey's parliament is due to consider renewing the
force's mandate next month. Dincmen said a top foreign
ministry official would discuss it with U.S. officials in
Washington this week.
    She said Ankara had not yet agreed to a British proposal
for coalition talks involving the United States and France.
    The Western planes, and a liaison team in northern Iraq,
are the remnants of a military force which pushed back Iraqi
troops in April 1991 to allow the return of two million
Kurds who fled to Turkey and Iran after a failed post-Gulf
War revolt.
    Turkey and Syria both sided with the U.S.-led coalition
which drove Iraq from Kuwait. Iran, like Syria, bitterly
opposes Saddam Hussein and condemned the invasion of the
Gulf emirate.
    But Iraq's neighbours insist that Saddam's eventual
downfall must not lead to his country's dismemberment.
    Iraqi opposition leaders say they share that view and
hope to dispel fears that they pose a threat to Iraq's
integrity.

11/12/1992 - YUGOSLAVIA-REFUGEES

    Despite rampant anti-foreigner violence, Germany has
admitted 235,000 mostly Bosnian refugees out of humanitarian
concern and chided EC partners for not sharing the burden.
    It suggested a quota system but drew a lukewarm
response.
    "We supavs since March. Officials note that Germany
could admit far more because it had a large Yugoslav migrant
community before the w7,000 and Turkey 15,000.

11/12/92   SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- Guns were silent
