    NATO SUMMIT IN SPOTLIGHT OF TURKISH PRESS
    [June 30, 2004, 22:24:46]

    The NATO Summit held in Istanbul June 28-29 was widely covered in the
    Turkish press. Turkish journalists were mainly focused on the
    statements by Presidents George Bush of USA, Jacques Chirac of
    France, Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, Mikhail Saakashvili of Georgia,
    as well as Federal Chancellor of Germany Gerhard Schroeder and Prime
    Minster of the Great Britain Toni Blair.

    Besides, the trilateral meeting of Foreign Minister of Turkey
    Abdullah Gul, Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov and
    Armenian Minister Vardan Oskanian also in the aroused great interest
    of local and foreign media. In the course of the meeting, Abdullah
    Gul stated to his Armenian counterpart that Azerbaijan and Turkey
    expect positive steps from Armenia, reputable Turkish newspapers
    Sabah, Radical and Milliyet said. Newspapers say that Armenia keeps
    Azerbaijani lands under occupation and has claims as to `genocide'
    and that is why, it should not expect any compromise from Turkey and
    Azerbaijan. Opening of borders is impossible.

    Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan unveiled the same
    position. During the meeting between President of Turkey Ahmat Necdet
    Sezer and President of France Jacques Chirac, the Turkish President
    showed discontent of Turkish society on French parliament's decision
    related to the `genocide' and lambasted radical position of Armenia
