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 > ****************************************************************** This message was sent to you from the offices of Global Community Centre of Waterloo Region.
