Turkey's star rises over the new Azerbaijan

Article Abstract:

Abulfez Elchibey, president-to-be of Azerbaijan, aims for a secular state with close relations with the US, Britain and Israel. He intends to create an independent Azeri nation and is pro-Turkey although there are few direct geographical connections with Turkey. Many Turkish goods are available in shops, Turkish television is broadcast and Turkey's Latin script is used for signs and will be taught in schools from Sept 1992. Mr Elchibey seeks rights for 20 million suppressed Azeris in Iran.

Turkish voters face a leap into unknown

Article Abstract:

Turkish voters face a choice between more than 6,000 candidates from 12 political parties in the country's forthcoming general elections. They offer a wide range of solutions, and the result is still very uncertain. There is a particularly strong ideological conflict between the pro-Islamic Welfare Party, which is seen as being in a very strong position, and the other parties, which wish to see Turkey remain a republic.
