Islamic Party Strong
In Turkish Elections

Istanbul, Turkey (JTA) —
Turkey's Islamic fundamen-
talist Welfare Party has
emerged as a strong can-
didate for the coalition
government that will be
formed by the conservative
True Path Party in the wake
of last week's upset elections
here.
The True Path Party edged
out Prime Minister Mesut
Yilmaz's Motherland Party,
which has been in power for
eight years.
The Welfare Party, which
believes the United States
and "Zionists" are involved
in a plot to rule the world
and dominate Moslems,
received about 17 percent of
the national vote.
The party, led by 65-year-
old Necmettin Erbakan, will
send about 62 deputies to the
450-seat Parliament, mak-
ing it the fourth-largest par-
ty. While the True Path Par-
ty came out ahead with 181
seats and 27 percent of the
national vote, it did not
receive enough votes to form
a government on its own.
Whether or not Mr. Er-
bakan is invited to join a co-
alition, he is expected to ex-
ert a loud and charismatic
presence in Turkey's third
parliamentary government
since the 1980 military coup.
The success of Mr. Er-
bakan, who has rarely polled
more than 10 percent in his
many decades of political in-
volvement, has surprised po-
litical commentators and
worried Turkey's tiny Jew-
ish community of 22,000
people.
"There is some concern be-
cause Erbakan does not hide
his anti-Semitic and anti-
Israel feelings," said Sami
Kohen, a veteran political
columnist for the daily
Milliyet newspaper.
Mr. Erbakan is against
Turkey's effort to join the
European Community,
which he sees as an Israeli-
run- organization, even
though Israel is not a mem-
ber of the 12-nation body.
In his campaign speeches,
Mr. Erbakan often warned
that the elections were a
choice between "Greater
Israel and Greater Turkey."
"If you don't want your
sons, when they are soldiers,
to be ruled by Solomon in Tel
Aviv, you must vote for our
party," he said in a nation-
ally televised speech last
week.
"If you are not careful,
Turkey and Israel will
become one state," he added.

Political commentators
warned against assuming
that the success of Erbakan
meant a resurgence of pro-
Islamic feelings in this
secular Moslem country.
Since the founding of the
republic in 1923, a certain
tension has always existed
between the state's secular
underpinnings and its
almost 100 percent Moslem
population.
Over the decades, suc-
cessive governments have
eased restrictions on some
Islamic practices and organ-
izations. Islamic banks now
function, Islamic schools are

"There is concern
because Erbakan
does not hide his
anti-Semitic
feelings."

flourishing, and last year
the country was rocked by
the Islamic-inspired
assassinations of four
prominent secularists.
But it remains a crime to
advocate an end to Turkey's
secularism, and in the
streets of major cities, wo-
men in miniskirts are more
prevalent than women in
chadors, the long gowns and
veils mandated by Islamic
laws on female modesty.
The Welfare Party's
ascendancy is "not serious,
perhaps, but there is some
concern in the Jewish com-
munity because it reminds
many people of what has
happened in other Islamic
countries, where pro-
fundamentalist leaders have
taken a lead or power," said
Mr. Kohen, the columnist.
He and others pointed out
Erbakan has never attacked
the Turkish Jewish corn-
munity.
The elections saw the end
of eight years of rule by the
Motherland Party, which
presided over Turkey's tran-
sition to a more open econo-
my and solidified a pro-
Western position.
But President Turgut
Ozal's rule was marked by
spiraling inflation, a growth
in Kurdish nationalism in
the southeast and criticism
over increasing "family
rule."
The Motherland Party
emerged second, with 24
percent of the vote and 111
seats. The left-of-center So-
cial Democratic Populist
Party fell to a surprising
third, with 21 percent of the
vote and 88 seats.
