    Turkish Political Leader Arrested in Armenia

    By Sevim AYCAN (JTW)

    Tuna Beklevic, leader of the Strong Turkey Party (Guclu Turkiye
    Partisi) and his aide Baybars Ozsek were arrested by the Armenian
    security forces in Yerevan. Two politicians entered Armenian territory
    without permission to protest the closed borders.

    Armenian Secret Service forced the Turkish politicians to leave
    Armenia immediately. Tuna Beklevic is known for his liberal opinions
    about Armenian issue. Mr. Beklevic has made campaigns to open the
    Turkish-Armenian border.

    Beklevic argued that the Armenian Foreign Ministry officers were so
    rude and claimed that the Armenian Government is under the control of
    the third parties in border issues.

    Beklevic said `we will open the border at last'.
