ACCUSED OZAL OF MISUSING TURKISH RADIO AND TELEVISION
(TRT) IN MAKING HIS "PROPAGANDA" AND BLAMED THE PRICE
INCREASES ON HIS POLICIES, WHILE THE NATIONALIST
DEMOCRACY PARTY (NDP) ACCUSED HIM OF MAKING A "FANTASY,"
AND ACCUSED HIM OF IGNORANCE OF THE MARKET PLACE.
SODEP'S CHIEF INONU SAID THE FILM WAS FULL OF "SOUND
AND PROPAGANDA," BUT OPINED THAT PEOPLE WILL HENCEFORTH
LOOK NOT AT WORDS, BUT AT THE MARKET PLACE. CORRECT
WAY PARTY (CWP) DEPUTY CHAIRMAN ERGENEKON RIDICULED THE
PRESENTATION AS "FANCIFUL GRAPHICS, FOLLOWING FANCIFUL
ACHIEVEMENTS." IN A RELATED STORY, CONSERVATIVE
"TERCUMAN" OF JUNE 27 REPORTED THAT THE PARLIAMENT
HAD REJECTED A REQUEST BY THE OPPOSITION PARTIES FOR
A GENERAL DEBATE ON THE ECONOMY. SAID OZAL:
"IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FROM A TECHNICAL POINT OF VIEW
TO CHARGE WITH LACK OF SUCCESS THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF A
NOT YET SIX-MONTH GOVERNMENT IN SO SERIOUS A FIELD
AS THE ECONOMY."

HAVE OBSERVED THE BUILDING. THE DAILY OBJECTED THAT
NO AUSTRIAN CABINET MEMBER HAD ESCORTED THE BODY TO
THE AIRPORT AND THAT FOR WANT OF AN HONOR GUARD, THE COFFIN
WAS LOADED BY BAGGAGE HANDLERS. IN A RELATED MATTER,
ALL PAPERS REPORTED AS A "NEW COMEDY OF JUSTICE IN
FRANCE" THE NEWS THAT THE TRIAL OF THOSE ACCUSED OF
HARBORING THE DEFENDANTS IN THE ORLY BOMBING HAD BEEN
POSTPONED UNTIL OCTOBER 8; THAT THE JUDGE HAD REFUSED
TO RULE THAT THERE WAS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MURDERS
AT ORLY AND THE ACT OF ABETTING THE MURDERERS; AND
THAT THE JUDGE FURTHER RULED THAT ATTORNEYS FOR THE
TURKS INVOLVED COULD NOT INTERVENE IN THE CASE.
MEANWHILE, AN ASALA MESSAGE TO AFP THREATENED ALL
COUNTRIES THAT MIGHT HELP THE TURKISH OLYMPIC TEAM.
-- IN RELATED STORIES, LIBERAL "MILLIYET" AND
"TERCUMAN" OF JUNE 27 REPORTED THAT FONMIN HALEFOGLU
WILL MAKE AN OFFICIAL VISIT TO ITALY ON JULY 3.

MEET THE POPE AND ASK HIM TO MAKE EFFORTS FOR THE
PREVENTION OF ARMENIAN TERRORIST ATTACKS AGAINST
TURKISH DIPLOMATS. PURCHASE OF THE ITALIAN G-222
TRANSPORT PLANE WILL ALSO BE ON THE AGENDA, GIVING
IN "MILLIYET'S" VIEW, THE ITALIAN BIDDERS THE EDGE
OVER SPAIN AND CANADA.
-- AND, "HURRIYET" OF JUNE 27 REPORTED FINDINGS BY
UNNAMED INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES THAT THE TURKISH
FUGITIVES ABROAD ARE BEING DIRECTED BY AN ARMENIAN
