    NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL MEETS IN ANKARA

    Zaman, Turkey
    Oct 31 2006

    Turkey's National Security Council (MGK) will convene on Tuesday
    under the chairmanship of President Ahmet Necdet Sezer in the Turkish
    capital Ankara.

    General Yasar Buyukanit will attend the meeting at the Presidential
    Palace for the first time as Chief of Staff. He was appointed to his
    new post August 30.

    Turkey-EU relations and EU accession talks are expected to be at the
    top of the agenda. The French parliament's adoption of a controversial
    draft bill, which makes it a crime to deny an Armenian genocide,
    will also be discussed.

    The fight against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in
    addition to the latest developments in Iraq, Cyprus and other regional
    security issues are among the other points the Council will debate.

    Today's meeting will be the first since the PKK declared a unilateral
    truce October 1st and the last one before the Progress Report on
    Turkey's EU process is revealed early in November.
