  *Protest Turkey's invasion of Iraq!*

  Canadian supporters: the proposed sale of CANDU reactors to Turkey
  has raised a lot of opposition in Parliament, mainly on environmen-
  tal grounds.  This is an opportunity  for us to draw  attention as
  well  to Turkey's  aggression against Iraq.  We should demand that
  no arms or nuclear  technology be sold to Turkey as long as it has
  forces on foreign soil.  The folowing is a letter I sent to Sergio
  Marchi, Minister of international trade.

  >The Hon. Sergio Marchi
  >Minister of International Trade
  >House of Commons, Ottawa

  >Dear Mr. Marchi,
  >    I am opposed to the proposed sale of CANDU reactors to Turkey.
  As you know, Turkey is increasingly A STATE RULED BY THE MILITARY.
  The official,  democratic  government is  only allowed  to stay in
  office if it carries out the will of the military. - This was seen
  again this  past summer  when  the army  forced the  elected prime
  minister Erbakan to resign.
  >    I don't  think we should  trust a military state with nuclear
  technology.  At present Turkish forces are engaged in invading and
  occupying  Iraq.  They have seized territory apx 10 miles wide and
  200 miles long and established a permanent presence of 8000 troops.
  Not only that but they are sending bombers far to the south, almost
  to Arbil,  where they are flying raids against one Kurdish faction
  on behalf of the other. They show no sign of leaving. The situation
  is potentially very dangerous.
  >    WE SHOULD NOT BE SUPPLYING NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY TO TURKEY WHILE
  DEMANDING THAT IRAQ DISARM.
  >    Rather we should help to build confidence between Iraq and its
  neighbours by desisting from supplying arms, and potential military
  equipment, to a state actively involved in aggression.
  >
  >Yours sincerely,
  >Eleanor Grant
