TURKEY-PRESS SCAN (1)

FRANCE BOMBS SOLUTION
Turkey was about to agree with Libyan leader Muammar al-Gadhafi on a plan also including "al-Qadhafi's leaving the administration to his son." It has been revealed that France destroyed the solution package by starting to bomb the country.
Ankara took the pulse of Libya regarding the wide-scale package it prepared as it met not only al-Gadhafi's supporters and the opposition. It then shared information with the United States.
Turkey said that it was ready to assist Libya in many issues to pave the way for a democratic process, including fair elections and a contemporary constitution. It proposed al-Gadhafi or his son to join the elections by establishing a party if necessary.
If the plan had not failed, Turkey would probably have set up a mechanism including unbiased international observers. However, France excluded Turkey from Libya plans in the Paris Conference, and made a fait accompli by bombing the country.
TURKISH SUBMARINE AND VESSELS ON ROUTE TO LIBYA
Turkey is joining the mission to enforce arm embargo against Libya with a submarine, four frigates and one auxiliary warship. Two frigates in the Mediterranean, a logistic ship and submarine left for Libya on Wednesday night. They will start their mission after a related motion is passed from the parliament.
HE RECALLED SADDAM
President Abdullah Gul, en route to Accra, Ghana, said there were some circles that regarded their best interests above everything regarding Libya. Gul said, "they have broken Libya's backbone right now. Libya is actually divided. If al-Gadhafi resists in this situation, we may face a worse situation than Iraq."

MOTION AT TURKISH PARLIAMENT ON THURSDAY
Turkey is going to Libya after a century. The Turkish Parliament will debate a motion on Turkey's contribution to NATO mission on Thursday. Turkey will send five ships and one submarine to the region. Two of the ships are already in Libya.
INFLATION IN TURKEY LOWER THAN BRITAIN'S
The Turkish economy is experiencing certain developments which many experts defined as "impossible" in the past few years. Annual inflation in Turkey dropped to 4.16 percent and reached the lowest level in 41 years. Annual inflation in Britain rose to 4.4 percent. Turkey did not see such an economic development in the post-World War II era.
