SPECIAL GREY-WOLF ARMY AGAINST THE PKK

PROFESSIONAL ARMY TO BE FORMED
     07/28/93, SABAH-- Prime Minister Tansu Ciller signed a
decree that will enable the formation of a professional and
better-trained army to fight against the Kurdish rebel group
PKK.
    Initially, this special force will consist of 10 thousand
troops and be extended to 70 thousand over several years.

(Hurriyet 08/06/93) Until now, 5000 "Grey Wolves" did applied.

The paper Ortadogu, the newspaper from the MHP (Nationalist
Movement Party), reported that a lot of young Grey Wolves
applied for the new Special Army Force. The government made
propaganda in Tokat Corum Yozgat, a city well known for it's
nationalistic inhabitants. The governor from the area which
encloses Turkish kurdistan said: "We pay them 20.000.000Tl
(4.000DM), if they kill a Kurdish rebel they receive an extra
38.000.000Tl". The Special Army Force will go into the
mountains and live just like the PKK. 

note: Grey Wolf-Organisation: A fascist, nationalistic, pro-
Ataturk-organisation. It is regularly reported to be active in
Europe as well. It spies on the Turkish community. As well in
Europe as in Turkey it acts as an extension for the MIT
(Turkish Secret Service). Usually, the members of the Grey
Wolfs are members of the MHP. The "secret"-agenda for the MHP
in forming this army is the increasing of their legal power in
Turkey. Grey Wolves always wear a ring with 3 moons on it and a
locket with the head of a wolf on it.

     The DEP, the successor from the HEP which was forbidden
about one month ago, stated: "This special army will cause
trouble also for the Turkish government. This step leads the
people into an escalating war. More and more the situation
will turn into a nationwide turkish-kurdish war".
     The fascist-nationalist party stated: "Yes, we are happy,
it was our idea to build an army like this. The government
accepted this idea now."
