          COUNCIL OF EUROPE TO TAKE UP ISSUE OF TURKEY

          The Council of Europe's permanent representatives  committee
          started   yesterday  its  three-day  session  in  which  the
          situation in  Turkey  would  be  discussed.   The  permanent
          representatives  committee  will  prepare  a response to the
          Council's Parliamentary Assembly resolution on Turkey, which
          called  on  the  Council  to  freeze  Turkey's membership if
          Turkey did not end its  incursion  into  northern  Iraq  and
          bring  its democracy and human rights record up to standard.
          The decision to freeze a state's membership can only be done
          by the Council of Europe ministers.  /All papers/
